Cultivating a Bountiful Retirement

Nourished by URS, her retirement is rooted in gardening, grandchildren, and giving.

“I will never outlive my security, and that to me is huge.”

Robin Hatch has a lifelong passion for gardening.

“I’ve loved to garden since I was a kid,” she said. “I just find peace in the garden, playing in the dirt, watching things grow.”

Much like tending to a garden, Robin patiently watched her URS benefit grow through a long career in Utah public service. And now she’s reaping the rewards of a financially secure retirement.

Robin, who lives in Roosevelt, Utah, retired from Northeastern Counseling Center in 2023 at age 58 with more than 25 years of service credit. “I will never outlive my security, and that to me is huge,” Robin said.

With her URS benefit, Robin’s retirement priorities include expanding her garden, giving back to the community, and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren.

“I don’t have to worry,” Robin said. “I can kick-off and go watch their dance competitions, go to their basketball games. I have the time to do what I want.” “I’m happy,” she said. “Retirement is wonderful, and the peace of mind of my URS benefit is invaluable.”
