Resident of the Month

We are thrilled to celebrate Jim and Elly Simmons as our Residents of the Month at Legacy Reserve at Fairview Park! Their love story, adventurous spirit, and kind hearts make them a cherished part of our community.
Originally from Washington, D.C., Jim and Elly met in high school and have been inseparable ever since. After graduating, Jim proudly served in the U.S. Air Force before building a successful career as an architect at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Elly had a long and rewarding career as well, retiring from US Airways, where she brought her friendly personality
and dedication to countless travelers over the years.
In 1997, the couple moved to South Carolina, where they embraced a life full of adventure and new experiences. One of Elly’s most inspiring achievements is learning to slalom water ski in her 50s—and continuing the sport well into her 70s! Her energy and determination are a true inspiration to us all.
Together, Jim and Elly have built a beautiful life, and they are proud grandparents to two wonderful grandchildren.
