Meet Odessa's newest postmaster Andria Payne

Andria Payne is Odessa's newest postmaster. A native of eastern Washington, she was born in Soap Lake and graduated from Ephrata High School in 1997.

She has worked for the U.S. Postal Service for the past 18 years, 15 of those years in Moses Lake and the past three years in Wenatchee in a supervisory position. The opening of the postmaster position in Odessa allowed her a promotion as well as a chance to work closer to home once again.

Payne has three daughters aged 22, 21 and 18. The youngest daughter is in her senior year of high school and still lives at home.

Payne says her job keeps her...
