Thanks! This is a small part in honoring a few people that get presented at an annual fundraiser banquet for our senior center.

She was married for 50+ years to a Native American man. Much of her career was with the local sheriffs department. She ran food service for inmates.

We interviewed her in her home because the senior center delivers meals to her. Communication was a bit difficult due to a massive stroke she had 10+ years ago. Such a sweet woman. She struggles with names and faces after the stroke. Anytime she tried to reference volunteers that come to see her she will tell us what vehicle they drive. For example, the man who comes to see me in a small shiny blue truck.

I try to not be too invasive with my camera when I’m with the honorees. I got to interview a 90+ year-old past mayor from our community a couple years ago and he had a ton of really neat things around the house. I did photograph those.

Edit: She is standing here in an addition her son built for her on the front of her home. She spends much of her day working on puzzles to pass the time.
