We are delighted to introduce Susan Terry, our Resident of the Month at The Oscar. Susan and her husband, Gene, have shared an incredible 56 years of marriage, after first meeting in college. They settled in Temple, Texas, where they lived for 25 years. During that time, Susan focused on raising their family as a stay-at-home mom while actively volunteering in her community. Once her children were older, Susan returned to school to earn her bachelor’s to become a teacher and then her master’s degree, after being asked to step into the role of principal.
Family has always been at the heart of Susan’s life. She and Gene are the proud grandparents of six wonderful grandkids, ranging in age from 20 to 6, all of whom live close by.
Beyond family, Susan’s other great passions include teaching, baking (her cinnamon bread is legendary), and gardening. One of the highlights of her career was the creation of a health science program at Temple High School, which trained students to become phlebotomists, EMTs, and unit clerks. Susan laughs now when she runs into her former students in medical offices.
Since moving to The Oscar, Susan has found a welcoming and supportive community. She describes it as a “warm and friendly neighborhood where people truly care for one another.” According to Susan, “It’s so easy to be here – the staff are so friendly, neighbors are wonderful, and there’s a real sense of connection and concern for each other.”
Outside of The Oscar, Susan has served her community in other impactful ways. For the past 15 years, she has been the chair of Keep Salado Beautiful and has served two terms on the Salado Board.
We are so proud to have such an inspiring and dedicated individual as part of our community.
Thank you, Susan, for all that you do!
