Resident of the Month

Estelle was born in Main, but just 13 days later the family moved to El Paso Texas. The family moved a lot because her dad was career Air Force. They moved so much that Estelle almost had a new school she had to attend each year. She did come to Tennessee when she was in 4th grade. They lived in Smyrna on 92 acres and got to ride horses. Moving a lot was a different way to grow up, but she has many positive memories. One thing Estelle loved about being in various states, was the chance to experience all the different cultures each state brought. Estelle has six siblings so that adds some fun to the mix as well. She said it was quite the experience traveling with the nine of them in a tight-fitting station wagon. There are only positive stories with all her siblings. Since they moved so much, they had to stick together and support each other. With six siblings, there was always someone for something. A sister was there to be a shoulder to cry on, another was there to help with the school bully, and so on. Estelle says family is the most important thing! They moved a lot but she knew that “Home is where the family is”. After high school, she moved to Austin Texas with her husband where they lived on the campus of The University of Texas. She ended up moving a lot as an adult too, but stayed in the southwest until her job brought her to Tennessee in 2005 where they settled in to stay. To this day family is still number one for Estelle. She has three amazing daughters and seven grandkids that she loves so much! Estelle’s recent move is to the Goldton of course. She needed to find assistance after a severe auto accident where she lost her husband. She says that at the Goldton, she has found a new addition to her family, and she is happy to be here. She looks forward to getting to know more of the residents better. And we can’t wait to get to know Estelle better! We are blessed to have her here. Estelle is a kind soul that is nothing but sweet to everyone. Welcome Estelle, we are glad you are here!
