Loan Accountant Retires After Nearly 15-Year Tenure at Farm Credit
Farm Credit of the Virginias (FCV), a regional lending cooperative that serves Virginia, West Virginia and western Maryland, announced that Teresa Anson, loan accountant, will retire November 14, 2025, after nearly 15 years with the Association.
Anson has called Staunton, Va. home her entire life. She joined Farm Credit in 2011 as an administrative assistant for the special assets group. In 2020, she transitioned to the finance department where she took on the role of senior associate accountant, before accepting the position of loan accountant in 2024. Most recently, her work has centered around booking and servicing capital market loans, which she said has been an exciting learning experience.
Reflecting on her time, Anson shared, “I have enjoyed being able to help Farm Credit customer-owners in any way that I can and working with the Farm Credit team. The team has always treated me with kindness and a willingness to help.” She continued, “I am proud to have assisted with getting the critical maintenance verification process started and am still involved with the program today. I will miss my daily routine of loan processing and working with my teammates.”
Scott Howerton, controller, shared, “Working with Teresa for the past six years has been a pleasure. She played a pivotal role in our Participation Loan Accounting and Critical Maintenance verification, which has been crucial to our team’s success and overall Association growth. Her dedication and commitment to excellence cannot be overstated. We wish her a happy, healthy and well-deserved retirement.”
Upon retirement, Anson is looking forward to spending more time with her family, visiting her children and grandchildren, as well as traveling. She also enjoys playing pickleball and is excited to have more time to play going forward.
