Resident of the Month

We honor Vivian Holmes as our October resident of the month at Legacy Ridge at Sandy Plains. Vivian has lived at Sandy Plains since 2022. She has three children, seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Her daughter, Belinda lives close by, and visits Vivian regularly as does her great grandson, Hunter, who joins her for Bingo and other fun activities.

Vivian lived in Marietta for six years before moving to our community and was in Jacksonville, Florida prior to her move to Georgia. She was married to John Holmes for 40 years.

She is an accomplished seamstress and made her daughter’s outfits, many fun costumes, drapes, and bedding. Vivian also worked in a factory making gowns. Her love for animals brought her to work as a receptionist in an animal hospital.
Her daughter, Belinda says “she knows how to have a good time.”

We agree, she always has a smile for everyone and loves to dress up for our special events days. When we had hat day a few weeks back, Vivian went the extra mile and wore a sunflower hat! Last October she represented our community at the Johnson Ferry Baptist Church’s Magnolia Ball. She showed up in a gorgeous outfit and outshined everyone at our table. Vivian has an amazing sense of style and it’s a joy to see her engaging smile and enjoy her gracious presence. Thank you, Vivian, for being such a beautiful person and for spreading such happiness to our residents and staff at Legacy Ridge at Sandy Plains. We celebrate you this October!
