CRSI Recognizes Vargo & Rippetoe for 15 Years of Service!

Trudi Vargo

Congratulations to Trudi Vargo, a DSM in Auglaize County who has spent the past 15 years with CRSI!

Trudi started as a part-time DSP working with 15 individuals at the Licensed group home in Auglaize County & worked part-time at another location. When a position opened, Trudi moved to full-time at the group home. After about a year and a half, Trudi moved to a full-time manager position in Van Wert. She worked in Van Wert for about a year & transferred back to Auglaize County, where for the last 12+ years she has been a full-time manager, providing oversite to different combinations of two homes, and at one time, Trudi was managing 3 different locations. Most recently, in addition to managing, Trudi also assists with payroll processing, entries, & corrections as well as running reports for Care Tracker.

When asked what has been the most rewarding during her years with CRSI, Trudi said seeing the positive changes, less restrictions, & more person-centered outcomes for the consumers. She also said she values the friendships from staff & noted that Tanya Stauffer, her Program Spec (who has been with CRSI 17 years!) and Sue Ulis, her Program Administrator (who's been with CRSI for 26.5 years!) are the only original employees in Auglaize County from when she started. Tanya, Sue, & Trudi enjoyed a socially distanced lunch at the Auglaize office to celebrate Trudi’s years with CRSI.

We also celebrate Kristy Rippetoe, PS in Van Wert County, for her 15 years with CRSI. Congratulations Kristy!

Kristy worked FT at a workshop in Williams County, and for extra income, she came to work for CRSI as a part-time DSP at a drop-in site in Defiance County. She said that over the years, her position with CRSI became about the individuals, not about the income.

In 2019, Kristy came to Van Wert County as the full-time Program Specialist. Kristy said she has enjoyed working with the individuals, seeing what they are capable of, teaching them, & learning from them. She said they have definitely taught her patience. Kristy was unable to attend our recognition lunch.
