Secretary – Virginia Tedesco

Virginia was born and raised in New Britain Connecticut.  Her first job was, as a secretary, in the employee insurance division of The Hartford Fire Insurance Company in their main headquarters in Hartford, Connecticut.  She had several advancements through her 32 years at The Hartford Company, ending as a IT Programmer Tester.  With the number of years she had worked there she was able to retire.  She had always thought if she had the chance she would love to live in Florida, especially Daytona Beach, having fond memories of vacations there. So in 2008 Virginia, along with her husband, flew down to visit her brother-in-law in Ormond Beach and looked around. To make a long story short, they put money down on a lot, put their Connecticut home up for sale, which sold in 24 hours, and they were on the road to Florida a few weeks later. She worked as a church secretary  for 4 years prior to coming to Ormond Beach Presbyterian Church. They say the Lord closes one door and opens another, and Virginia says she is a testament to that fact.
