Out of sight

Rural Carrier Slobodanka Cadenovic was recently making deliveries in Williamstown, NJ, when she grew concerned that mail was piling up at the home of a customer who normally retrieved it daily.

Cadenovic knocked on the customer’s front door but got no answer, so she checked with a neighbor — who had seen no sign of the woman in several days — and called 911.

Emergency responders soon discovered the woman on her bedroom floor, in dire need of medical attention, and rushed her to a hospital.

“I love my job and my customers, and if I can help them, I just do it,” Cadenovic said.
