With Thanksgiving coming up, take a moment and tell us what part of 2022 you’re thankful for! It could be a person or people, an experience, gift, or purchase — just let us know what it is and why you’re so glad it was part of your life. See how below.
At last Sunday’s game at Lambeau against the Dallas Cowboys, which the Packers won 31-28. Clockwise from top left: son-in-law Jeremy, Kerri, daughters Katie and Molly, sister Kitty, and Kerri’s dad.
“I am thankful for perseverance and faith,” writes district manager Kerri Collins, who lost her mother in July. “It has been such a difficult time. But I am enjoying every minute I have with my dad and family as we find our new normal.” Kerri’s father has had Green Bay Packers season tickets since before Lambeau Field opened in 1957, back when the team played at the original City Stadium. “He and my mom were at the Ice Bowl — she was eight months pregnant with my brother!” (The average wind chill temperature at the legendary 1967 NFL Championship Game was -36 °F, making it too cold for referees to even use their whistles; it remains the coldest game in NFL history.)
Daughter Rayna, cancer-free husband Bob, daughter Alena, son Lincoln (“Looking all stoic,” Heather jokes), and Heather.
“I’m thankful for my family,” North End branch manager Heather Somers says. “I’m also so grateful that my husband is almost 10 years cancer-free!”
Father Tony with Kinsley, 1.
Payroll and benefits manager AVP Cindy Lohrey is thankful for granddaughter Kinsley (who is, of course, also credit analyst Emily Curro’s daughter). “Her laughter and joy brighten every day for me,” Cindy says. “She is so intrigued to learn things and is whip-smart — she keeps us laughing all the time with her antics and facial expressions. And I will be even more thankful when she says the word ‘grandma’!”
