Cathy Roynestad, a Montgomery County resident since 1960, has just celebrated reaching the amazing milestone of her 50-year anniversary as the Resident Manager at the Dalamar Apartments in Gaithersburg on October 20th. She was hired by Eugene B. Casey (Casey Management) on October 20, 1973, to manage the property and residents where she and her family had been living for two years. Cathy’s own apartment served as the office for the first 23 years on the job. She has been in an office right across the hall from her apartment since 1996.
The Dalamar Apartments have 120 units and has been the home to thousands of residents since Cathy began her career. It is not hyperbole to suggest that she has been loved and adored by almost all of them, in large part, due to her kind, caring, compassionate, and helpful attitude. Cathy intends to retire at the end of the year. Her friendly smile and demeanor will be sorely missed by the residents and fellow employees alike. Even the mail carrier on her route has stated how sad she is that she will not get to see her every day.
Cathy intends to remain in Gaithersburg and looks forward to spending more time with her family, participating in activities in the community (particularly those geared toward seniors), and making new friends. A party is planned for the end of October to celebrate this amazing achievement.
