(KAIR)--An Atchison woman has been named employee of the year for the Kansas Department of Children and Families.

“It's a great honor, said Stacey Kentzler, a human services specialist with DCF. “I'm surprised and I'm really happy. I'm really blessed to work for this agency, great people work here.”

According to a press release from the agency, she was surprised with a special ceremony last Friday at the conference center at the Atchison DCF service center with a room full of colleagues and family. Along with a certificate and plaque, Kentzler received a $1,000 cash prize.

In the release, DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore said, “Stacey's hard work and commitment exemplify what it means to be a public servant, and we are grateful for her numerous contributions to our agency.”

Before receiving this honor, Kentzler was named Employee of the Quarter.

She has been employed with the State of Kansas for 27 years, with the majority of that time assisting clients at DCF. In her current role, she helps process applications for food, child care and cash assistance.
