Resident of the Month

We are delighted to honor Eleanor Jasper as our Resident of the Month! First off Eleanor will be turning 100 this month! She was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. Her strong faith has always been an important part of her life—she studied Catholicism and was baptized by Father John Murphy. Alongside her spiritual journey, Eleanor discovered a love for music and dedicated time to studying piano.
Education became her greatest passion, and she pursued it to the highest level. Eleanor earned her Doctorate of Education from Columbia University’s Teachers College, an incredible achievement that reflects her dedication and love of learning. At just 25 years old, she published a textbook on teaching English with Vantage Press in New York—an accomplishment few achieve at such a young age.
Her career was as inspiring as her studies. Eleanor returned to her hometown of St. Petersburg and served as a Supervisor for Parks and Recreation, where she helped shape programs that enriched the lives of her community.
Today, Eleanor continues to inspire all of us here at The Goldton with her remarkable life story, her wisdom, and her warm presence. We are honored to celebrate her this month!
