Resident of the Month

Julie Lea was born in 1941 in North Kansas City, Missouri, where she grew up with her three sisters and brother. She graduated from North Kansas City High School before marrying and raising three children.

Once her children had grown and completed college, Julie re-entered the workforce with a deep sense of purpose. She became a braillist at a school for the blind, where she spent the remainder of her career transcribing books into braille and serving as a teacher’s aide in the public school system. Her work made a lasting difference in the lives of visually impaired students and their families.

In retirement, Julie moved to Savannah, Georgia, living in Port Wentworth before settling into Legacy. She enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, and shares her love of painting, crafting, and thrift shopping with those around her. Julie is known for her generous spirit, creativity, and the warmth she brings to every room.

Congratulations Ms. Julie!
