ABSTRACT

Marie is 93 years old. Up until last year, she had been active and independent; surrounding herself with family and friends from the neighborhood. She worked two days a week as a volunteer at the local museum giving tours of the “old mansion” and sharing her memories of the days when the building was the home of a leading family in the town. After work, she walked next door to the café where she visited with the owner before calling the Senior van that took her back home to the west side of town.
