FORT MYERS (CBSMiami/AP) — The oldest employee of the Publix grocery store chain has died.
Grace Varey, 98, died December 15th after she drove home following her regular store shift in Ft. Myers and sat relaxing in her favorite chair.
A Publix spokesman said Carey started working for the store when she was 78.
She was well-known at the Colonial Crossing Publix, loading groceries in cars and many customers made sure they came on the Monday, Wednesday or Friday shifts she always worked.
