Savannah, Ga - January 16, 2018 - (Newswire.com)
Gertie Johnson moved to Savannah in 1968 with her husband and took a position doing alternations with Curry Dry Cleaners. When she started with the dry cleaning company, she sat among many other women working in alterations, but after 40 years, Gertie is the only employee doing alternations today.
Gertie learned to sew at a very young age, and was sewing her own clothes by the age of 20. When she moved to Savannah with her husband and children, she decided to make a career out of her passion, however her love for sewing extends beyond working for Curry Dry Cleaners.
Outside of doing alterations for Curry Dry Cleaners, Gertie also uses her gift to give back to the community of Savannah. On the last Wednesday of each month, she gathers a group of children at Trinity United Methodist Church in Savannah, Ga and teaches them the basics of sewing. She wants to keep the art of sewing alive as it is less commonly taught in school
Curry Dry Cleaners would like to honor the commitment of Ms. Gertie Johnson to their family-owned business. They are grateful for her loyalty, talent, and customer service. Gertie will celebrate a birthday on December 17th.
