🌧️☕ It’s a dark and rainy Monday in Dawsonville, but we’re still smiling about all the fun we had over the week at Magnolia! ☀️💃
We jumped right into a great Yoga Balance & Tone class with Meg 🧘‍♀️, then got our competitive spirits going with a round of Throwing the Axe with Spirit Hospice 🪓🎯 — big shoutout to them for bringing the energy and laughs!

🌸✨ Saturday Spotlight: Meet Charlotte! ✨🌸
This week, our Saturday Spotlight shines on one of our wonderful residents — the warm, kind, and lovely Charlotte! ❤️

Charlotte was born on October 7, 1946, in Orangeburg, South Carolina 🍑, to Johnny and Ruth Moorer. She grew up in Dorchester County, where her father was a farmer 🌾 and her mother worked at a local fashion boutique 👗. She had one brother, John, her “baby brother” whom she loved to spoil.

Charlotte attended Harleyville High School, where she was part of the Beta Club and on the Homecoming Court each year 👑. Known for her kindness, friendliness, and Southern charm, Charlotte truly never met a stranger. ✨

After graduating, she began her career at the VA Hospital in Charleston 🇺🇸, later transferring to Atlanta in 1968. It was there she met her lifelong friend Kitty Ackerman 💞, and the two have stayed close through every chapter of life.

That same year, Charlotte met Arthur “Bub” Wilson 🎳 in a bowling league — and the rest is history! They married in 1973 and made their home in Brookhaven 🏡, where they spent 42 wonderful years together surrounded by family, friends, and a beautifully kept garden. 🌹

Together, Charlotte and Bub shared a love for travel 🚐✨ — spending months exploring the Smoky Mountains, Florida, and Mississippi coasts, attending Navy reunions ⚓, and making lifelong friends along the way.

Charlotte retired early and enjoyed a full life filled with family, friendship, and community. She’s a proud grandmother of seven — lovingly known as “Me Me” 💖and with “Pa Pa Bub,” she hosted countless family celebrations. From Easter egg hunts and birthdays to Christmas mornings and camping trips 🏕️, their home was always full of laughter, good food, and love.

Charlotte’s heart for others has always been one of her defining traits. In her twenties through forties, she often helped elderly neighbors — running errands, driving them to appointments, or simply spending time together 💕. It’s no surprise she’s known at Magnolia for being sweet, approachable, and genuinely kind.

She’s also a wonderful Southern cook 🍰, famous for her to-die-for carrot cake, boiled peanuts 🥜, and corn pie 🥧. Always prepared for anything, Charlotte keeps backup flashlights, batteries, and water on hand 🔦 — just in case!

Thoughtful and generous, Charlotte never forgets a birthday or special occasion 💌. (We’re convinced Hallmark should have her on payroll!) When relaxing, she enjoys dance music 💃, especially the jitterbug, and watching Pretty Woman — “because of Richard Gere,” of course. 😉🎬 Her favorite color is red ❤️, and if anything stresses her out, it’s being behind on paperwork 📝!

Charlotte is also a longtime member of Oak Grove United Methodist Church ⛪, where she attended for many years and continues to watch services online.

Here at Magnolia, Charlotte brings warmth, grace, and a bright spirit wherever she goes. She’s a wonderful listener, a true friend, and a joy to be around. 🌟

Charlotte, thank you for sharing your kindness, humor, and heart with all of us — you make Magnolia feel like home. 💕

✨🌸 Saturday Spotlight: Meet Marilyn! 🌸✨
This week we’re proud to shine our Saturday Spotlight on our wonderful resident, Marilyn! 💜

Marilyn was born in Brooklyn, New York, to her parents Elvira and Gerald, who both worked in the catering and food industry 🥗 🍽️. She grew up with one younger brother, just three years her junior. Most of her childhood and adult life were spent in Queens and Freeport, New York, where she made many cherished memories.

Marilyn attended Freeport High School, where she describes herself as a “goodie two-shoes” who never skipped class 😊. She loved boating ⛵ and fishing 🎣 during her earlier years and always had a creative side, especially when it came to gardening and decorating 🌿🎀. After marrying her husband Chuck, the two made their home in Freeport and stayed there for 25 years and raised four children together 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. Their family grew over time to include one grandchild 👦 and two great-grandchildren 🧒👧, who continue to brighten her life ❤️.

Marilyn spent over 25 years as a dental assistant🦷, later transitioning into the medical field as an office manager 🗂️. After years of hard work, she and Chuck built their dream retirement home 🏡 in South Carolina, complete with a farm and two horses they loved to ride 🐴. Their home was only a few miles from the Clemson stadium, and they soon became die-hard Clemson Tiger fans! 🐅. On their 50th wedding anniversary, they celebrated with a breathtaking hot air balloon ride 🎈☁️🌤️— and on her 80th birthday, Marilyn went horseback riding again 🏇, proof that her adventurous spirit never fades! 🎉

Always curious and determined, Marilyn takes pride in learning new things — especially technology! 💻 She now uses her computer and smartphone daily to text friends, browse Facebook, play Solitaire ♣️, and check her email.
One of Marilyn’s proudest achievements in her life is that she helped start several churches ⛪, a reflection of her faith and dedication to her community. Marilyn also has a best friend 👯‍♀️ named Carole who has been by her side for 60 years, and they still talk on the phone every day 📞💕.

Marilyn’s favorite things reflect her bright personality: she loves yardwork🪴 and flowers 🌻, birds 🐦 that visit her garden, and the beauty of springtime🌷. Her favorite color is lavender🪻, and her favorite movies are The Lady and the Tramp and The Wizard of Oz 🎬. She enjoys Christian music ✝️ 🎶, Bible study 📖, and relaxing with jigsaw puzzles 🧩, mystery and romance novels 📚, and her favorite cuisines — Chinese and Italian 🥡🍝. What makes Marilyn happiest is simply being around people. She loves good company, conversation, and connection — a true people person through and through 💜. As for what stresses her out? Family drama ranks highest on the list, but Marilyn always handles it with grace and a smile 😊.

At Magnolia, Marilyn is deeply admired as President of our Resident Council 🏛️ and an active member of the Food Council Committee. She leads with grace, compassion, and clear-headed care — always advocating for her fellow residents and their well-being 🤝. Her kindness, reliability, and sense of responsibility make her a true cornerstone of our community 💖🌟.

Marilyn, your warmth, strength, and heart inspire us all — and we are so grateful to have you as part of our Magnolia family🌹.

Stay tuned each Saturday for a new spotlight 🌟

✨🌟 Saturday Spotlight: Meet Joe! 🌟✨
This week we’re proud to shine our Saturday Spotlight on our resident, Joe.

Joe was born in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania 🏡, the youngest of three children. His father, Joseph, was a Polish immigrant and coal miner ⛏️, while his mother, Blanche, lovingly cared for the home. His first job was delivering newspapers as a boy 🗞️, a start that reflected the work ethic he carried throughout his life. His best memory growing up was simply being part of a stable family with a hardworking father and a hardworking mother.

Joe later married Ms. Jacquelyn 💕, and together they raised two children, Joseph and Cynthia 👨‍👩‍👧. Their family has since grown to include his four grandchildren 👶👶👶👶 and two great-grandchildren 👧👦 who continue to bring joy to his life.
After getting his Ed degree in college, for 37 years, Joe taught school in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey 🍎. He also served as school treasurer 💼 and, after hours, he allocated his time officiating sports competitions, namely Football, Baseball, Softball, Soccer, and Track and Field ⚽🏈⚾🏃‍♂️ His steady presence in both the classroom and on the field made a lasting mark.

After retiring in 1992, Joe and his wife moved to Williamsburg, Virginia 🏠, where they spent 21 years in a home he built himself 🛠️. Skilled with his hands, he set up a workshop and enjoyed maintaining their home. They also traveled to upstate New York 🍂❄️ each fall and winter.
Joe enjoyed fishing 🎣, hunting 🦌, and golf ⛳ His favorite golfer is Tiger Woods. These days, he still follows golf and football closely, especially his beloved Clemson Tigers 🐅. His favorite film is It’s a Wonderful Life 🎥 and he enjoys listening to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin 🎶.

At Magnolia, Joe is known for his reliability and kindness 🌸 Nicknamed “the mailman” 📬 , he takes on the task of bringing in mail and packages and delivering them to fellow residents every single day. He also serves on our Food Council Committee 🍽️, where he advocates for nutritious, savory meals for our residents.
Joe’s life reflects dedication, family, and service 💙—and we’re grateful to have him as part of our Magnolia community. 🌟
