Happy birthday to Peggy Helmerich! Peggy, her late husband Walt, and her children have been steadfast supporters of Saint Simeon’s for over 35 years. In honor of her birthday, Phyllis and George Dotson sponsored the screening of the classic movie "Harvey" for our residents. Thanks to Phyllis and George, our residents were able to enjoy popcorn, pretzels, and cupcakes while watching Peggy star in one of Hollywood’s most beloved classic comedies. From all of us at Saint Simeon’s, Happy Birthday, Peggy!
