Meet Our People

This October, we are delighted to celebrate Betty Sisken as our Resident of the Month!

Originally from Connecticut, just outside of New Haven, Betty grew up on a farm alongside her one brother and three sisters. Growing up on a farm helped foster her lifelong love of horses, which became one of her favorite hobbies throughout her childhood and into adulthood.

Betty went on to attend college, where she earned her PhD. It was during this chapter of her life that she met her husband. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised three children. Betty and her husband were married for an incredible 70 years, creating a lifetime filled with family, memories, and love.

Betty has been a part of the Legacy Reserve family for the past three years, where she lives with her sweet kitty, Misty. Since joining our community, Betty has become known for her love of plants and flowers. She has even lent her green thumb to our very own courtyard, helping care for the plants and flowers and making the space even more beautiful for everyone to enjoy!

And Betty isn’t done creating! She recently finished writing her very own book and is now eagerly waiting for it to be published. What an incredible accomplishment and a wonderful reflection of her lifelong love of learning, writing, and creativity!

While horses, school, and work were important parts of Betty’s life for many years, today she finds great joy in caring for plants, tending to flowers, writing, and helping bring beauty to the Legacy community.

We are so lucky to have Betty as a part of our Legacy family. Please join us in congratulating Betty Sisken, our October Resident of the Month!
