🌟 Resident Spotlight: Meet Ms. Mary “Fran” Reed! 🌟
We are so excited to introduce our March 2026 Resident Spotlight, the wonderful Mary “Fran” Reed!
Fran brings a special spark to our community here at Woodland Ridge. Originally from Monticello, Georgia, she grew up with a love for the outdoors—spending her childhood building bicycle trails through the woods with her brother. That active spirit followed her through high school, where she was a cheerleader and was even crowned "Miss Hurricane"! 🌪️📣
Here are a few more reasons why we love having Fran in our family:
A Devoted Heart: Fran met her husband, Terrell, on a blind date (though she’d actually spotted him at a basketball game first!). She spent years supporting his coaching career at Newman High School.
Family First: She is a proud mother of two and a doting grandmother to six. One of her favorite memories is the family tradition of grilling out together. 🍔
Creativity & Faith: Whether she’s collecting crystal birds, painting ceramics with her grandkids, or sharing her faith, Fran is always looking for ways to encourage others.
Community Spirit: You can usually find Fran participating in community activities or eagerly heading out on our local lunch outings! 🥗
Fran is known for her kindness and her "helper" heart. If you see her in the halls this month, be sure to give her a warm congratulations!
