Carol Brydge announced today that she will retire from her post as Augusta County Circuit Court Clerk effective April 1.
Brydge began her career in the office in 1989 as a deputy clerk. She was appointed to the top job in the office in 2014, and was elected to an eight-year term in 2015.
“It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Augusta County the past 30 years,” Brydge said in a statement today. “Assisting and interacting with the public and legal community afforded me the opportunity to meet many remarkable people. I will miss working with my experienced and knowledgeable staff.
Deputy clerk Gina Coffey will serve as interim clerk until a special election is held to fill out the remainder of her term.
