Karen Thompson from Glenpool, Oklahoma, relies on her car to stay active and connected to her community. A retired City of Tulsa employee, Karen keeps busy with her church and senior center, where she enjoys card games, fellowship and a widow’s group. She often gives rides to friends who can’t drive anymore.
Karen is the latest winner of the TFCU Great Auto Loan Payoff. She’s getting her loan balance paid off for $4,980.
“I’m so thankful for the blessing,” said Karen. “As a widow, it can be a struggle. This really loosens me up financially and lets me help my granddaughter a little more.”
Karen financed her 2015 Buick Encore with TFCU through a local dealership.
“It wasn’t a new car, but I needed it,” she explained. “I wasn’t planning on getting a red one, but it was the first one they showed me, and it grew on me!”
Karen also worked hard to pay off her loan early, adding an extra $100 to each monthly payment. “I just wanted to get it paid off faster,” she said.
Karen’s friends were excited to join her for her celebration as the TFCU Great Auto Loan Payoff winner.
And she was excited to tell them that anyone who has an auto loan with Tinker Federal Credit Union is automatically entered for the payoff.
With four winners every year, who knows who could be next?
