Clara Gulsby Retires From Tax Collector’s Office

May 28, 2016

Clara Gulsby retired Friday after 26 years with the Escambia County Tax Collector’s Office.

Tax Collector Janet Holley said Gulsby has been an outstanding asset to Escambia County and will be hard to replace. She first joined the Tax Collector’s Office as a senior accounting clerk in April 1990 and retired as a senior manager. During her career, she managed the Tax Collector locations in Century, Cantonment and, most recently, Molino.

District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry presented Gulsby with a board proclamation in her honor.

“I am going to spend time traveling, and time with my grandkids,” Gulsby said. “I’m really looking forward to being there for my grandkids.”

    congrats on the retirement. I hope the person they put up there now blends with the rest of the folks that work there. ALWAYS the most pleasant group of people to help you with whatever you need. Always polite, always with a smile which makes it the best office in the county.

    Congratulations Clara! I (Jackie) remember when you came to work in the Medical Records Department at Century Memorial Hospital willing to learn and do whatever was asked of you. At that time I believe you only ate hamburgers and French Fries. Enjoyed the time working with you and also, seeing your smiling face when we would go into the Tax Collector’s Office. Enjoy your travels.
