This month of October 2020, brings us to introduce another of our residents, Carol Sheehy.

Carol was born on the family farm in Elysian Township in May of 1926. She grew up with one brother and went to country school through the 8th grade ,then when to high school in Waterville, graduating in 1942. Carol helped out on the farm until she married her high school sweetheart, John Sheehy, in 1945. They farmed in Cordova Township and ran Sheehy Insurance while they raised their two boys and three girls. Carol and John enjoyed fishing, water skiing, all kinds of outdoor sports and following their children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events. They also traveled extensively because their daughter worked for Delta Airlines.

Carol spent the last 10 year since John’s passing, along on the farm, until she had a serious fall and needed assistance with daily living. She and her family had heard good things about Colony Court and so she decided to make it her new home. “It’s been nice here; everyone seems nice and accommodating.”

We think you’re nice too, Carol, and we’re glad you’ve joined the family!
