Angela Gross to take oath of office as Upper Lake postmaster
Gross will follow a proud tradition dating back to 1858 when James G. Musick Upper Lake’s first Postmaster took office.
Gross will raise her right hand to take the official oath of office as the new Upper Lake postmaster at a 3:30 p.m. ceremony at the Upper Lake Grange Hall, 9355 Government St, Upper Lake.
Post Office Operations Manager Maria Lane will administer the official oath of office.
Gross began her U.S. Postal Service career in 2012 as a clerk in the Upper Lake Post Office.
Gross quickly got her management experience after a year of working as a clerk when she became the officer in charge, or OIC, of the Upper Lake Post Office in 2014. Over the next few years, she was an OIC before being promoted to postmaster of Upper Lake in January 2018.
Gross is proud to be a representative of the Postal Service and having the opportunity to “serve and better my small tight-knit community.”
She regularly participates in holiday events such as the Holiday Light Parade and Summer Parade.
Gross resides in the neighboring Bachelor Valley in Witter Springs with her husband Kevin Gross and three sons, Dominic, 13, Ethan, 6, and Wyatt, 2.
While she claims her family is her hobby, Gross enjoys reading, watching movies and simply taking time to enjoy the sunshine.
As Upper Lake postmaster, Gross serves a community of 1052 residents and oversees over 1200 rural daily mail deliveries and 658 PO Box deliveries. Gross also manages five employees.
Gross succeeds former Upper Lake Postmaster Kristi Rico.
