Vivian moved to Jennings Terrace Sheltered Care in Aurora, IL, in March 2017. As her needs increased, she transitioned to Jennings Terrace Nursing Center where she remained until her passing on January 31, 2024. She loved it there. She always had something to do. She made many new friends there as well as seeing some old friends there also. She was always talking, laughing, and socializing. Throughout her life that was her demeanor.
Special thanks to all the wonderful staff at Jennings Terrace for the care, comfort, love, and dignity extended to our beloved mother.
Also, a special thanks to GENTIVA HOSPICE for all the help they provided our mother in her last months. I especially want to thank Becky and Chad with whom I communicated constantly. They helped ease the pain in our hearts knowing our dear mother was on her way to see God.
