Most long-distance runners have packed away their sneakers by the time they reach 60. But that’s when Ellen Demsky was just getting started. Since then, the now 84-year-old has run more than 50 marathons while taking on a part-time career as a university instructor teaching older adults how to prevent cognitive decline.

Ellen Demsky picked up running in her 60s. Now 84, she’s still going—and showing others how to thrive mentally and physically.

Our resident spotlight this month is on Wilma! Here are some things you may not know about your neighbor...

🧑‍🌾 She grew up on a farm with 6 siblings.
🎹 Her oldest sister played the piano, and Wilma and her other siblings were the song and dance tap group called the "6 OKs", which stood for "Owens Kids". They performed throughout the region.
🏫 She got her masters degree and went into teaching, which she did between raising kids of her own.
✈️ Wilma loves to travel with friends. She's been on numerous cruises, to every state, and to India and Nepal with her church group.

Be sure to tell her hello if you see her around! We're so glad you're here, Wilma!

Our spotlight this month is on Helen & Phil! Here are some things you may not know about your neighbors:

🚜 Phil grew up in Northern Virginia on 20 acres, which his family called a “gentleman’s farm.” Both his parents were active “New Dealers.”
🪨 Helen’s early years were spent in Montana near Butte, where her father worked as a geologist for the railroad and worked for the company’s mine.
👫 Phil and Helen met by chance in New York City. After marriage, they both worked in antipoverty programs in Kentucky. They have two children.
💙 Asked for a life lesson, Helen advises responding to frustration with kindness, gentleness, and clarity. Phil says he’s learned not to take himself too seriously and to appreciate the benefits of aging—and, if you’ve married well, to be grateful for it. Phil and Helen have been married 57 years.

We're so happy you're here, Helen & Phil!

You wouldn't expect grapefruit to be on a list of foods to avoid after 60. But the juice of a grapefruit can interfere with medications taken for insomnia, anxiety, and high blood pressure. Other fruits—and fruit juices like orange juice, cranberry juice, and tomato juice consumed in moderation—are a better bet for older adults.
