Mary previously belonged to the Red Hat Society and the women’s club at her church, Our Lady of Humility in Beach Park. Before Mary came to The Addison, she enjoyed being a snowbird, spending winters in Arizona and fishing trips in Wisconsin. Mary is a world traveler and has been to Italy, Ireland, Egypt, Switzerland and Germany. Mary currently has two cats with her here at The Addison named Lucy and Maxie. She is most proud of raising her two children.

WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO phase 1PHASE 1 RE-OPENING — Because we have been successful in keeping the virus away, we will start making a few small changes. Beginning in June, we will schedule some small group programs in the dining room. Our weekly calendar will indicate if the activity is in the hallway or downstairs. We will also be scheduling some patio time daily so we can get outside and enjoy the nice weather. Everything will be scheduled and structured, so we ask that you only attend the programs that are scheduled for your floor. Our seating will be distanced in the Great Room. You are welcome to come and visit in this room while following our plan for safety.

Residents were also surprised with a lovely video of photo and video messages from their families put together by Kim.
