A mental health nurse who started nursing at 15 has retired after almost 60 years of service.
"We got married in 1969 which led me to move back to West Somerset where I took up a role at Williton Hospital that I stayed in for 15 years," she said.Ms Parsons says she will miss the friends she has made throughout her career "We went to different garden centres and even excursions to the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, which was fantastic for our patients," she said."All these type of activities helped many patients to feel well enough to leave hospital and it was wonderful to know how much impact we made."
Probably has seen and experienced it all in that field of service .
A fine example..
