After 39+ years working across three Federal Reserve Bank (FRB)) Offices, Denise Mickel Russell has retired! Denise began her Fed career at the Charleston processing center in 1978 as a check sorter operator and later worked in the computer room. After nine years, she transferred to FRB Richmond and worked in many different areas of the check department, eventually working with the Department of the Treasury where she worked on numerous projects that saved the Treasury time and money in the way that they handled both check and ACH payments. After 21 years in Richmond, Denise transferred to FRB Philadelphia as a Senior Project Manager and worked remotely from her home as she continued to work on Treasury projects. “I’m happy to say that after 39+ years, I’m retiring young, early and healthy!” Denise and her husband Ron, who is also retired, live in Glen Allen, VA with their two children. Various trips have been taking up their time including a cruise to the Caribbean and of course to Myrtle Beach for the reunion.
