Churchill County Honors Longtime Employees for Dedicated Service

Churchill County Honors Longtime Employees for Dedicated Service

At its March 19 meeting, the Churchill County Commissioners took a few moments to recognize the people behind the public service—presenting awards to several county employees whose combined years of work add up to more than five decades.

The quarterly recognition event honors staff members who have reached service milestones in five-year increments. Each honoree received a plaque and lapel pin, along with thanks from the Board of Commissioners for their dedication to the community.

This quarter’s honorees included:

Five Years of Service

  • Emily Tunsil, Public Defender’s Office
  • Shelly Chamberlain, Public Defender’s Office

Ten Years of Service

  • Kenneth Tye, Juvenile Probation Office

Thirty-Five Years of Service

  • Brenda Ingram, Court Services

Ingram, who leads the Court Services department, holds the distinction of being Churchill County’s longest-tenured employee with an impressive 35 years of service. Her career has spanned decades of changes in the justice system, and she continues to serve with professionalism and consistency.

Tye, with the Juvenile Probation Office, was honored for a decade of commitment to supporting youth and helping guide families through the challenges of the juvenile justice process.

“These awards are a small way to show appreciation for the people who keep the county running, year in and year out,” said one county official. “Their work might not always be visible to the public, but it’s essential.”

The next employee recognition ceremony is scheduled for the second Commissioners’ meeting in June.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
