Meet Utah County Employee Larna Burgess


Here's a little about me...

I have been employed for the county for 14 yrs. My job title is Custodial Services Coordinator. I have 11 buildings to keep track of. 8 are cleaned by the contractors. I clean 3 buildings - Foothill, Emissions, and south fuel station. I go on call for Bio Hazard clean up at the Jail rotating 2 weeks on 6 weeks off. I am in charge of the table and chair set ups in the Admin, H. J. B. Courthouse conference rooms. Including the normal everyday cleanups.

I was born and raised in Provo. Lived most of are married life in Payson. Moving south of the border to Mona 8 years ago. I have been married 38 yrs to a wonderful husband. I have one son that is disabled that lives at home and a grandson that comes when he can. I enjoy sitting in my beautifull back yard with a fire in the pit looking at beautiful Mt. Nebo. My hobbies include camping in my yard, name extracting, I used to do a lot of crocheting and sewing. I was raised by a mother that taught me the value of work and service. Each day I strive to do something good for someone other than my family. This brings the most joy to me.

What makes this County job enjoyable are the employees that I work with and the people I meet that comes into the County. There are so many good employees that work for the County. No matter which building I go in they are there. They make my job so much easier when everyone is willing to help.

When you get old you can give advice knowing no one will listen....here it is any way. Enjoy life to the fullest do not wait for the golden years cause they are not golden. Strive each day to do something good for someone not close to you it really does bring much happiness.
