Marilyn is one of our original residents. She was the first person to sign a lease, and she has been with us since our community opened nearly a decade ago.

“I remember June 28, 2008 like it was yesterday,” she said. “That was the day my life changed for good. I climbed three steps into a double-wide trailer that was parked on mound of gravel, and I was no more than 100 yards away from my new home.”

This was the start of Marilyn’s next chapter in life.
