Resident of the Month

Geraldine Wiley is our resident of the month for February. We all know her as “Gigi” here at Legacy. She has been part of the Legacy Ridge community for 5 years. She is a joy to be around even in her silence there is warmth of comfort. You can catch some smiles and even “yeaaaa” especially when there is a good beat on like Earth Wind and Fire.

Her presence is something we all love and gravitate too but there is way more behind the beautiful eyes and smile. Gigi was born in North Carolina. She is one of four siblings. As a child she was into dance and cheerleading. After graduating from North Carolina Central University she started her teaching career in Charlotte, NC. She taught school in Roanoke VA as well. She retired from Cobb County Department of Education after 30 years as an educator. She loves all sports especially football and basketball.

Gigi has child one daughter, Nicki (Tim) who we all have come to love at Legacy. She also has 2 grandsons. You could find her at every sporting event of her grands because she was “that grandma” in the stands.
Gigi also still loves music from the Motown era.
One of many her accomplishments is being a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. She also is a member and at one point held office in organizations such as the Links, the Girlfriends, Jack and Jill of America, Las Amigas, and several professional organization as well.

Most of all, anything involving her family and grandsons especially, she gleams and glows.
With pride even until now, her presence speaks loud of love, kindness, and care. If you ask family, one of her famous sayings is “it’s easy, you just got to know how to do it.”
Congrats to Gigi as we recognize her as resident of the month!
