Beasley had been eagerly awaiting<br \/>\nWise&#8217;s visit for three weeks since she checked the<br \/>\nstation&#8217;s Web page and learned the state of Tennessee<br \/>\ntreasury department owed her some money.<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>&#8220;This is so exciting!&#8221; said Beasley, whose maiden name was<br \/>\nKail when she resided in Maury City (Crockett County),<br \/>\nTenn. &#8220;Not everyone who searches for cold cash gets money<br \/>\nback, so to me this is a wonderful surprise.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/><span>Wise said Beasley&#8217;s fortune is a prime example of why it<br \/>\npays viewers to browse the WMC-TV Web page.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span>&#8220;She (Beasley) watches Channel 5 regularly,&#8221; Wise said &#8220;On<br \/>\na whim, she decided to check out our Cold Cash link. To her<br \/>\npleasant surprise, she discovered Dolly Kail listed among<br \/>\nthose due money collected by Tennessee&#8217;s state treasury.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>Though Beasley&#8217;s new check will be issued by the treasury<br \/>\ndepartment, her original payment in that exact amount from<br \/>\nColonial Life and Accident Insurance was received more than<br \/>\nseven years ago.<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>&#8220;I remember when I broke my knee cap and the insurance<br \/>\ncompany mailed me a check for $369.40,&#8221; Beasley said.<br \/>\n&#8220;Since I didn&#8217;t miss any work due to my injury and I didn&#8217;t<br \/>\nneed the money, I thought the insurance company had made a<br \/>\nmistake and I sent the check back to them.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>Beasley&#8217;s co-workers couldn&#8217;t be happier over her good<br \/>\nfortune.<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>&#8220;Dolly is truly a giving person who joyfully does so much<br \/>\nfor those around her,&#8221; said Cynthia Evans, chief cost<br \/>\naccountant and Beasley&#8217;s immediate supervisor. &#8220;It&#8217;s most<br \/>\nfitting that her generosity should be rewarded in such an<br \/>\nunexpected manner.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>Terron Jones, physical plant director, praised Beasley as<br \/>\n&#8220;a bubbly personality&#8221; and &#8220;a valuable person&#8221; in the<br \/>\ndepartment. &#8220;I honestly can&#8217;t think of a person who<br \/>\ndeserves something like this more than her,&#8221; Jones said.<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>When asked what she planned to do with the extra money,<br \/>\nBeasley said she intends to buy a birthday gift for her<br \/>\nhusband, Jim Beasley, who works at the local Whirlpool<br \/>\nmanufacturing plant.<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>&#8220;He&#8217;s had his eye on a new fish finder,&#8217; said Beasley, who<br \/>\nhas worked for UM since November 2007. &#8220;I told him I&#8217;d buy<br \/>\nhim one with the money whenever I received it.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span>When not working, Beasley enjoys baking desserts and<br \/>\nsharing them with her family and friends.
