Retirement wishes to Nancy Cantrell Pack after 30 years as a bank teller. She started working at Citizens Bank in 1983. She saw the bank go through many name changes - First American and then First Bank. She had previously worked at Genesco and then the hospital. She and her husband Kenneth have three children: Terry who lives in Nashville; Nikki who lives in Gordonsville; and Adam who lives in  Eagleville. They have four grandchildren. The bank staff at First Bank hosted a retirement party for Nancy on her last day Feb. 28.
