Prevail Bank proudly announces the retirement of Linda Susa, Branch Manager of its Owen location, after 12 years of dedicated service and an impressive 45-year career in banking.
Linda began her banking journey immediately after graduating high school, joining Farmers & Merchants Bank in Greenwood as a teller. Her eagerness to learn and passion for helping customers quickly propelled her into roles of increasing responsibility, including Assistant Cashier, where she managed student loans, consumer loans, mortgages, and even sold insurance through the bank’s independent agency. Through evening classes at technical colleges, Linda mastered multiple aspects of banking, paving the way for her eventual promotion to Branch Manager.
In 2013, Linda joined Prevail Bank—then known as Time Federal Savings Bank—as Owen’s Branch Manager and Mortgage Loan Originator. Her expertise and commitment to customer service continued to shine as she helped countless individuals and families achieve their financial goals. Linda also contributed to the bank’s insurance services during her tenure.
Reflecting on her career, Linda shared: "I was fortunate to have a bank president who saw potential in an 18-year-old girl just out of high school. I didn’t know then that I would spend the next 45 years doing a job I loved. What I gained in my banking career is the ability to help people attain their financial goals and create life-long relationships with customers and fellow employees. I will miss the people the most—the daily conversations that make your day a bit better."
To celebrate Linda’s retirement, Prevail Bank will host a public Open House at its Owen branch on Wednesday, December 3, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Customers, colleagues, and community members are invited to stop by, share memories, and wish Linda well in her next chapter.
Prevail Bank President & CEO, Nathan Quinnell, expressed his gratitude: "Linda’s dedication and passion for helping customers achieve their financial goals have been an inspiration to all of us at Prevail Bank. Her leadership and commitment to the Owen-Withee communities have left a lasting impact, and we are truly appreciative of her years of service. We wish her all the best in her well-deserved retirement."
In retirement, Linda plans to spend more time with family, tackle her long-standing “to-do” list, and travel with her husband.
Prevail Bank thanks Linda for her years of leadership, dedication, and service to the communities of Clark County. Her contributions have left a lasting impact, and she will be greatly missed by colleagues and customers alike.
