The Best Years ~ Senior Life

The staff of the Tri County News, Nobles County Review, Murray County News and Fulda Free Press have joined forces for a salute to seniors this week. Special thanks to all the fine merchants and advertisers who make this section a success.

As baby boomers approach the senior years, our staffs have taken a look at several active seniors in our area.

Syd Halverson from Fulda shares stories with youngsters at the school, and with residents at Maple Lawn Nursing Home among her many other volunteer activities.

Slayton resident Marilyn Zinnel was honored by the Slayton Chamber for her many activities. She began by taking an active role in her children’s activities in school and 4-H, and continued that tradition in many forms.

Karon Nagel, Pam Kramer, and Doris Diekman, Lismore area residents, share their love of quilting, and quilting road trips.

Newly installed at Lakeview Assisted Living in Heron Lake are raised gardens. These allow the residents to enjoy gardening, without the stooping and bending required with gardens at ground level.

As baby boomers age, their thoughts may look towards their future years. One article shares tips for remodeling projects and updates if remaining in a home.

Tips for dealing with unwanted calls and for protecting your eyes as you age are also found in this special section.

There are many more articles in The Best Years ~ Senior Life, filled with tips for seniors and for those about to be seniors.

For our electronic subscribers, the special salute to seniors in our area will be included with the June 26 issue of the Murray County ADvantage.
