MEET THE QUAIL RIDGE RESIDENTS

IRENE STEVENSON

Irene Stevenson’s eyes sparkle as she shares memories of marriage to her wonderful husband who was a paratrooper in World War II in the 101st battalion. He played a major role in the D Day invasion in Europe and was a highly decorated war hero. They moved from Kansas to Pryor, Oklahoma in 1954 and lived happily there until his death. After being lonely too long, Irene decided for herself that the thing to do was to move into an Assisted Living Community in Oklahoma City where she could be near her daughter, son-in-law, her grandson and his wife. “I made the decision to move to Quail Ridge on my own. This place is wonderful, the staff is great, the residents are very friendly, and I’ve never had a problem they couldn’t solve for me. I have friends who would be far better off to come here than continue at home alone and lonely. My recommendation is go where you have family. I’m so happy I made this decision on my own while still on my feet and could decide for myself. Now my family and I can enjoy each other and I don’t have to worry about becoming a burden on them.”
