Our Residents really enjoyed their time and visit! Thank you for coming ❤️
Senior Spotlight at Hilltop 💙 | "I was always a nice little girl. I remember - and I don't know why I did it - my friend was leaning back on two legs on his chair and I kicked them out and he fell. My teacher, who was a coach, saw it happen and gave me a swat... I thought many years later that I should find my friend and apologize to him. I wasn't able to find him, but I guess that shows I've got a conscience. My mom would have been proud of that."
Lila Sherlock, 82 years old, shared this and other thoughts on life with members of the media class this week, including and especially about her early years in school back in northwest Oklahoma. She particularly remembered life between Alva and Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
"Fellowship with friends is what I remember most," she shared.
Mrs. Sherlock came to Beloit originally to work in the youth center for girls. She met her husband there and they were married for 46 years until he passed away last December.
Thanks to Hilltop Lodge Retirement Community and the activities director, Katie, for welcoming us! 11th grader, Zelie, is pictured with Lila here.
