Franklin County would like to recognize a woman who has made a deep impact and built lasting relationships with our community for the past 25 years. Patty Riebsomer, an employee of George's Family Pharmacy, began her journey with assisting residents of Brookville in January of 1998. Now, as January 2023 approaches, Patty is deserving of being celebrated for her 25 years of service.

Patty has been married to Nick Riebsomer for 33 years and they have two daughters together. Kristin (Travis) and Paige. For those who know Patty, understand how much love and immense pride she has for her family and those in her circle of friends. However, her kindness doesn't stop there. Patty is a woman who treats others’ children like her own, takes them under her wing, helps educate and nourish them, and to this day, remains a figure of inspiration to many. A small example of her unwavering kindness involves two red tulip bulbs. Patty acquired these from the Miami University campus and chose to gift two of them to a fellow employee's children, who recently graduated from the university. Patty has always been a thoughtful, loving, and caring individual.

As an employee, Patty's dedication and hard work never faltered. She went above and beyond to help others and tend to customers, no matter who they were. Her work ethic can be summed up when George's expanded. When visiting the pharmacy in Irvington to check on the status and location, her coworkers were surprised to find Patty. She had heard the new location may be short-staffed, so she drove all the way up to Indianapolis to lend a helping hand and a warm smile.

Patty's work, thoughtful nature, and helpful disposition are greatly appreciated by her coworkers and those who have had the pleasure of her company or customer service. 

George's Family Pharmacy would like residents to join them in extending their heartfelt "Thank You" to Patty for her continual support of everyone and everything here in Brookville. Thank you, Patty, for everything you have done!
