Fulton (South)

Lydia is a native of the Fulton area with deep family roots here in the community. After earning her dental assistant degree, she realized that was not her true passion thus leading her to her current position with us here at The Callaway Bank while continuing with her drive-in helping others.  

When she is not immersing herself in reading an enjoyable book or revamping a room in her home with creative decor, she can be found diving into some retail therapy or spending time with her pets. While her volunteering has taken a backseat lately, she is eager to dive back into the community and help again.  

 Lydia thrives on the opportunity to assist and reassure people that she is here to help them every step of the way. She is part of a supportive team dedicated to guiding clients through every financial process. Here at the Bank, she feels this close-knit group is a second family and enjoys sharing that same feeling with everyone she helps.

Kayla Newburn and her family call Callaway County home now.  Originally from Miami, OK she loves the welcoming feeling Fulton and the Brick District offer.

As a Personal Banker, Kayla thrives on opportunities to help people every day whether it be opening a new account, walking them through online banking, setting up their new debit card or getting into their lock box.  She realizes the importance of building a high level of trust.   Afterall, clients need to feel confident in who they are dealing with when it comes to their hard-earned money.

The military is very near and dear to Kayla.  Her husband has been in the Navy for almost 20 years and her brother-in-law, who is currently the Commander at the VFW Post 2657 in Fulton, served in the Navy and National Guard for a total of 30 years.

Kayla says she enjoys working at The Callaway Bank because it is like family and is very involved in the communities we serve.   She appreciates having time to volunteer at the VFW with their many activities and at their children’s school.
