Centennial celebration: Coal industry veteran turns 100

Alexandra Iosifovna Stelmakh, a veteran of the coal industry, has celebrated her 100th birthday! Representatives from the corporate fund of “Bogatyr Komir” LLP and trade unions extended their congratulations on her remarkable milestone.

During the war years, Alexandra Iosifovna worked on the home front and later dedicated her career to the Ekibastuz coal basin. Rising through the ranks from a switch operator to a station duty officer, she earned the respect of her colleagues and recognition for her contributions to the coal industry.

Her achievements have been honored with several awards, including the Veteran of Labor medal and jubilee medals commemorating the 65th and 70th anniversaries of Victory. However, her greatest treasure remains her large family—her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
