North Florida Acting District Manager Charles Miller recently recognized Reidsville GA Rural Carrier Glenda Durrance with a Postmaster General Hero Award.
She also was recently interviewed by television station WTOC as a hometown hero for her life-saving action.
Customer Annie Will Joyce’s Reidsville home was destroyed by a fire last August.
Fortunately Durrence was on her regular route and drove up to the mailbox in front of Mrs. Joyce’s home just as the fire was gaining momentum.
She saw the smoke billowing out of the doors and from under the eaves of the house.
Glenda jumped out of her truck and ran into the yard where a woman said Mrs. Joyce might be inside the house.
Durrance ran onto the screened front porch to the door where the black smoke was boiling out.
She stepped inside the burning house, located Mrs. Joyce near the front door, and helped her outside.
Durrance said, "I try to be aware of my customers. This event happened so fast, I didn't even think about it."
Congratulations and thank you. You are a true hero!
Aweee, she is a very sweet woman and we love her dearly!
