Take Time to Know Them

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Take Time to Know Them:

Marcella was a participant in my senior citizen center classes. Always engaged in the classes loved the recipes and the lessons, always one of the first to ask questions about the lesson.  When I would see her out about town she would tell me how much she enjoyed me coming to the senior citizens center and doing the classes with them and how she would go home and make the recipes for her and her daughter. The last conversation I had with Marcella she told me that she had dropped her timer and ask me if she could get a new one. I told her I would bring it to her at the next class. Well the next class never came for her. She and her daughter were involved in a terrible auto accident where they both lost their lives. I will miss seeing her at our classes at the senior center.
