Lee Street Americus, GA 31709 (229) 931-5922 awalker@magnoliamanor.com It is with profound appreciation for his many years of loyal support and leadership that the Magnolia Manor family remembers Mr. John Gill who served as a Trustee from April 1997 until his death on March 6, 2012. An MBA graduate of The University of Georgia, John served for many years in the banking industry and will be remembered as a highly respected leader in business and surrounding local communities. He served many years on various local civic, community and professional boards and was a lifelong member of the Ellaville United Methodist Church. As the Vice Chairman of Magnolia Manor’s Board of Trustees as well as long-time Chairman of the Finance Committee, John’s leadership helped grow the ministry of Magnolia Manor through campus and location expansion. His generous support of the League of the Good Samaritan served as an example to others and was just one of the many ways he gave back to his community. Often he could be seen delivering his donations to our office in person; taking time to speak kind words and offering encouragement to our staff. With his unassuming demeanor, John was known as the most compassionate, benevolent and kind man one could ever hope to know. He was the epitome of a true Southern Gentleman and his presence in our communities as well as his leadership within our organization will be deeply missed. John was truly a servant leader. “May the example of how John lived not be lost on anyone and serve as a poignant reminder to each of us that we should all strive to be servant leaders and to be filled with grace and compassion and to care for others”, Mark Todd, President & CEO, Magnolia Manor. John is survived by his two children, Elizabeth Walker Gill and John Paul “Jack” Gill, Jr. of Americus and two sisters, Paula Elizabeth Gill Williams (Nelson) of Americus and Alice Coffin Brown (Dr. W. Virgil) of Atlanta as well as a number of nephews and cousins. Corporate Management Campus Administration Mark R.

Todd, President & CEO R emembering John Gill… “The monument of a great man is not of granite or marble or bronze. It consists of his goodness, his deeds, his love, and his compassion.” — Alfred A. Montapert Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com 3 Did you know that March is Social Work Month? Magnolia Manor takes the opportunity to honor our social workers during the month of March every year. This year a Social Worker Fair was held on March 29, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Nursing Center in Americus. Eight vendors participated in the event. Over 100 people attended including residents, family members, employees, and community members. They enjoyed the educational tour of each vendor as well as the refreshments and prizes. This event helps inform everyone of the services each vendor can offer and how these local vendors assist our Nursing Center by providing specific services to Magnolia Manor residents. R emembering Colonel Dick May Colonel Dick May was a blessing to Magnolia Manor South. Col. May admired and believed in Magnolia Manor South as a wonderful ministry and encouraged people in the South Georgia Conference to support Magnolia Manor South. He served on the Moultrie Advisory Board for Magnolia Manor since 1997 when it originated. Col. May served as Chairman and Secretary during his reign as a member of the Board of Advisors. He received the S. Walter Martin Vision Award in 2007. Col. May and his wife Lucille distributed lap throws, socks, and 4 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com needed items to local nursing homes that were donated by their Sunday School at Park Avenue United Methodist Church in Valdosta. Thanks to Colonel May and his family for all they mean to Magnolia Manor and the Moultrie community. Pictured above is Mrs. May’s favorite picture of her husband. This picture of Col. May was taken when he was active in the service in the early 1970s. Mrs. May says, “Magnolia Manor was the Colonel’s pride and joy; he never ran out of stories to tell me about his days visiting Magnolia Manor.” Special Recognition With thanksgiving for all the support of churches and individuals in the South Georgia Annual Conference, we gratefully acknowledge these leading United Methodist churches of the conference for their financial support of Magnolia Manor’s ministry for senior adults.

A centenarian is a person who lives to or beyond the age of 100 years. Because current average life expectancies across the world are less than 100, the term is invariably associated with longevity. The United States currently has the greatest number of centenarians of any nation, estimated at 70,490 on September 1, 2010. This corresponds to a national incidence of one centenarian per 4,400 people. Research on siblings and offspring of centenarians has documented that exceptional longevity runs strongly in families. Studies of the offspring of centenarians have shown that centenarians escape many of the common diseases associated with aging. Centenarians have lower frequency and delayed onset of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Thus, they are regarded as a model of healthy aging. Because personality traits have been shown to have substantial genetic components, it was hypothesized that certain personality features may be important to the healthy aging observed in the offspring of centenarians. Gender also plays a role considering the bulk of centenarians are women. At any age women have a greater life expectancy than men, and by the time one reaches one hundred, the sex ratio is four women to one man. As the 1940 census records were released on Monday, April 2, 2012, centenarians can consider themselves a part of living history. Centenarians will get to experience the novelty of seeing their own names and details about their life in the records released by the U.S. National Archives online after 72 years of confidentiality. The current Centenarians were part of the 21 million people alive in the U.S. and Puerto Rico who were counted in the 16th federal decennial census, which documents the tumultuous decade of the 1930s transformed by the Great Depression and black migration from the rural South. It’s a distinction they share with such living celebrities as Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman. Above: Mrs. Sara Berry. Above: Mrs. Salathia Williams. Reggie Comer hugs his loving mom as he rejoices with her on this special day. Magnolia Manor is blessed to have 15 centenarians! Listed below are the current Magnolia Manor celebrities of our Centenarian Club: Sara Berry (100) Lori Holler (100) Willie Mae Besecker (102) Virginia Jackson (100) Jeannette Buchen (108) Louise King (105) Laverne Comer (100) Gertrude Lowell (100) Florence Degelmann (102) Vera Stinson (101) Annie Guyton (100) Lyda Stokes (100) Jessie Hardison (101) Salathia Williams (102) Phillip Harris (100) Magnolia Manor resident Mrs. Comer celebrates her 100th birthday with a grand party.

The term “Mardi Gras” refers to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after Epiphany and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi gras is French for Fat Tuesday, referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. Related popular practices are associated with celebrations before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitential season of Lent. Popular practices include wearing masks and costumes, social conventions, dancing, parades, etc. Well Magnolia Manor residents LOVE a reason to celebrate! The residents had a big celebration on Fat Tuesday as they listened to jazz music performed by the Americus High School jazz band under the , sidents Mildred Albritton From left to right are Re House, and Ann Mulkey. Florine Bailey, Marthaleen 8 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com direction of Debra Hughes. Residents and employees enjoyed tapping their feet and clapping their hands to the soothing jazz tunes. Some even got up and performed the Jitter Bug dance such as Pam Cannon, Activities Director, and Resident Virginia Jordan, pictured to the left. The official colors for Mardi Gras are purple for justice, green for faith, and gold for power. The residents made masks and beads to wear for this celebration and as you can see these colors were flashing across the room. Mardi Gras has been celebrated every year since the early 1700s when the French settlers arrived in New Orleans. Magnolia Manor residents were thrilled to be part of this fun-seeking group to carry on the tradition! From left to right is La verne Horton, Katron and Jo Collins. Moon, Mardi Gras! Well Magnolia Manor residents of St. Marys love to party, too. They enjoyed celebrating Mardi Gras with a N’awlins menu including alligator tail as an appetizer, blackened rib tips and stewed beef over jambalaya, Cajun mixed beans garnished with steamed crawfish and truff le butter, and ended on a sweet note with Crème Brulee Cheesecake.

I have the title Senior Vice President for Church Relations and Development here at Magnolia Manor. When I consider that title and what it means, I remember my mother. four of us in the front seat with my mom, so we could stop by and pick up another mother and her three children. My mother was the Church Relations and Development Director in my home. What I mean is that she directed our family to be involved at the church and to be developed by it. We attended Dexter Methodist Church every Sunday. There was no need to ask, we were going. My three brothers and I got ready for church on Saturday night while watching, “Have Gun Will Travel” and “Gunsmoke”. Clothes were gotten out and shoes polished, if needed; toenails and fingernails clipped. My mother always gave us something to put in the Sunday School offering. Going to church often meant putting the The Mother’s Day Offering for The League of the Good Samaritan is basic to the fundraising effort at Magnolia Manor. What a great way to honor or remember our mothers who loved us and saw to it that we developed into who we are. Not every mother did that like mine did, but every mother has their ways of lovingly caring and leading their children. It’s the stuff you never forget and will always remain a part of you. The League of the Good Samaritan stands in the gap for many residents who are unable to fully pay for their care. Give a gift to honor or remember your mother on this Mother’s Day.
