After 38 incredible years, Ms. Lee Ether Andrews is retiring from Applewood.
As our head cook, Ms. Lee was a constant presence and a familiar, comforting face to so many. Over the years, she formed meaningful bonds with our residents, built on care, consistency, and kindness. That was clear at her farewell celebration, where residents & staff joined in to share just how much she will be missed.
Ms. Lee’s impact goes far beyond the kitchen, and her absence will truly be felt by residents and staff alike. Thank you, Ms. Lee, for 38 years of dedication, heart, and unforgettable memories. Applewood will always be grateful. 💛
