Darlene Duff y is the 2018 Minerva Citizen of the Year
OLMSTEDVILLE | Darlene Duff y, a long-term resident of Olmstedville, has been named the 2018 Minerva Citizen of the Year. Duff y has been the face of Olmstedville for many years, dating back to the early 1980s. She had a 28-year career with the U.S. Postal Service, retiring in 2012 from the Olmstedville Post Office. At the corner of county Routes 29 and 30 stands Sullivan’s Store which has been in place for many, many years. Duff y had her start in the grocery business
Duff y was modest about her selection as Citizen of the Year. “I like to do things for people – I like to treat people like I would like to be treated,” she said. “There are so many more deserving folks in town.” Duff y went over a list of volunteer activities she’s been involved with in the Town of Minerva and in some cases, activities with which she remains involved. She was a Minerva Central School (MCS) Board Member for nearly seven years from the late 1980s into the 1990s. She was the MCS Alumni Association Treasurer for about 25 years and is still an active member. Duffy has also been involved with the Minerva Community School Fund (previously Dollars for Scholars) for about 30 years, and has served as a RSVP driver for the past six years. » Duffy Cont. on pg. 2

when she leased the store in 1983, buying it from the Sullivan family in 1989. The store burned to the ground in 1999, but Duff y kept it going, rebuilding at the same location. She had thought about not rebuilding, considering the soil contamination that had been a problem in the 1990s. The soil was cleansed, new fuel tanks placed, and the store lived again. “I couldn’t see the town without a store in Olmstedville, and I have never had regrets about rebuilding,” Duff y said. Numerous visitors — local folks and tourists alike — stopped by during this reporter’s interview, keeping her very busy. Duffy would have to get up and head to the cash register, always with a smile and a kind word. “People ask me if I’m a Sullivan. I live in a house that was once owned by the Sullivan’s and my daughter lives in an old Sullivan house. I’m a Sullivan in here.” Here Duff y pointed to her heart.
