As part of her work for Tillamook Cheese, Louise Grabner uses a harp every day. But no, she's not Tillamook’s musician-in residence—she’s part of the packaging team, and uses a tool called a harp to cut 40-pound blocks of cheese into two-pound baby loafs. Her harp uses the same kind of wire used in pianos to carve the large blocks of cheese into precisely the right shape and weight.

 

Louise has worked for Tillamook for seven years, and enjoys the camaraderie of her colleagues on the swing shift. She’s active in helping others at work through her role on the safety committee and as an emergency first responder. She even crochets blankets for the new babies of members of her team.

 Louise is also something of a company celebrity, through her starring role as “Tillie,” one of Tillamook’s mascots. For almost three years, she has represented Tillamook at parades, employee appreciation events, and special events at the Tillamook Cheese Factory.

 

When she’s not at work, Louise can sometimes be found helping her husband with his dairy refrigeration business or traveling to Portland to visit their two sons. She also loves spending time with Image and Emma, two of eight greyhounds the Grabners have adopted since 1986.
