Julie Beck is a cherished resident here at Silvercrest Garner Farms. Originally from Waterloo, Julie has lived a rich and colorful life, full of experiences that make her a true gem in our community.
As a teenager, Julie spent her summers working at a church camp by the lakeāa time she fondly remembers for its peaceful surroundings and the joy of helping others. Later, she took on a more adventurous role, working at a private nightclub where she served drinks wearing skimpy tops, short skirts, and fishnet stockings. It was bold, lively, and just one of many chapters in her exciting journey.
In her adult years, Julie worked as a secretary for U.S. Steel, dedicating nine years to the company with commitment and pride. Her professional experiences are only part of her story, thoughāJulie is also a woman of many hobbies. She enjoys reading, adult coloring books, painting, and, with a playful smile, admits sheās always enjoyed "chasing boys."
Julie is the proud mother of three childrenātwo daughters and one son. Her favorite memories with them involve trips to Wisconsin, where the family would spend time by the lake, soaking in nature and each otherās company. One of her most treasured family traditions was Thanksgiving. Every year, the kids were encouraged to invite anyone who didnāt have a place to go. It made the holiday feel extra special and full of warmth.
When asked what advice she would give to someone considering a move to Silvercrest, Julie is quick to share: āTake a tour first. Youāll discover all the wonderful things about this place.ā Her love for the community is clear.
She also offers thoughtful advice to new CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) interested in working at Silvercrest: āGet to know the residents. Learn their needs, their likesāitās important if youāre taking care of them. We notice when you care.ā
Julieās story is a beautiful reminder of the vibrant lives our residents have ledāand continue to leadāright here at Silvercrest Garner Farms.
