You might not know her name, but if you stroll down the meat aisle of your local grocery store, chances are you'll see her face.

The glowing smile and blond locks on every package of Schneiders hot dogs, bacon or cold cuts belonged to nine-year-old Nancy Ann Featherstone-Maclean. The now 85-year-old makes her home in Victoria Harbour, Ont., a small town north of Barrie, where she lives with her daughter and son-in-law.

With the last bologna rolling off the line at Schneiders’ Kitchener, Ont., plant on Thursday, a sign with Featherstone-Maclean's face will remain at the site as a reminder of the nearly century-old factory that employed 1,200 workers.

"I think it is sad, they've been so good to me and my family," Featherstone-Maclean told CTV Kitchener.

Schneiders announced in 2011 that it planned to shut down the landmark facility.

It has been decades since her first photoshoot with the Canadian company, but Featherstone-Maclean still has fond memories.

"It seems (like) a long time ago now, but I've enjoyed doing the work," she said.

As a child, Featherstone-Maclean modelled for the department stores Eaton's and Simpsons, and she was contacted by a Toronto modelling agency to be the face of Scheniders.

Over the years, the company has sent the 85-year-old numerous gifts including T-shirts and a bobble head of herself. She even has a golf cart with a Schneiders sign on the front.

"I've enjoyed every moment that Schneiders had helped me, they've been wonderful to me," she said.
