Armbrust has final day at Regions
![Click on photos below to enlarge.]

Friday afternoon the lobby of Regions Bank was filled with little clusters of people patiently waiting their turn to say goodbye to an old friend.
After over 40 years of service to the community, Marilyn Armbrust is closing the banking chapter of her life and opening a new chapter as a retiree.
Marian Eimer, who most often occupies the desk adjacent to Armbrust, said that for the moment at least, it doesn't feel real that Armbrust is leaving.
"For the first couple weeks, we'll feel like she's just gone on vacation, but then we'll start to realize she really isn't going to come back. She's a great lady, and we are really going to miss her," Eimer said.
In true Marilyn fashion, amid the well-wishers, gifts and wonderful food, Marilyn was working on one last loan and said she wouldn't be officially retired until it was finished.

"I can't go until everything is finished, no loose ends," Armbrust laughed.
