We are saddened by the passing of Jo Ann Maguire.

Jo Ann enjoyed spending time visiting with others and getting to know those around her here at the nursing home. She could often be found reading a good book, proudly taking part in our book club group or putting together a jigsaw puzzle in her room. Jo Ann was especially fond of her family, speaking of them often and holding them close in her heart. Her quiet presence, thoughtful conversations, and love of learning will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this time. May the memories of her 97 years bring peace to all who knew her. 🕊️

We extend our condolences to the family and friends of Merry Ann Swank.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Merry Ann had a true zest for life and a caregiver’s soul that shined throughout her life. We often reminisced about her years as a caregiver and the time she spent driving the bus—stories that reflected her strong work ethic and deep compassion for others. Even as a resident, Merry Ann was always looking for ways to help, frequently offering a hand when she saw staff working nearby.

Her kindness, willingness to serve, and genuine care for others left a lasting impression on all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time. 🕊️
