Resident of the Month

This month, we’re delighted to feature Amory Wade, a beloved resident of Wildcat Senior Living’s Memory Care community, as our September Resident Spotlight.
Amory’s life has been filled with adventure, intellect, creativity, and compassion. A proud military dependent, she grew up with a strong sense of purpose and resilience. Her father served as a soldier, farmer, and real estate agent, while her mother was an artist, avid gardener, and dedicated Red Cross volunteer—traits that clearly influenced Amory’s own lifelong love of nature, art, and service.

A true scholar, Amory holds a Bachelor of Science from Virginia Tech and Radford University, and a Master’s in Education from the University of Virginia. She attended Osborne High School and went on to become a teacher, children’s outreach supervisor, and a lifelong learner herself. Her dedication to helping others extended beyond the classroom—Amory has also served as a volunteer, certified hypnotist, and Reiki master, bringing peace and healing to many.

Her favorite pastimes reflect her gentle and loving spirit. She enjoys gardening, reading, listening to music, attending church, shopping, and having lunch with friends. She loves makeup—especially lipstick—and is rarely seen without it!

Animals have always held a special place in Amory’s heart. She had a cherished yellow lab named Georgia and has loved many dogs and cats throughout her life. Her travels have taken her across the United States and even to France, but her greatest joys remain close to home—her daughters, grandsons, brother, and sister.
Amory adores dark chocolate, almonds, brie, Thai coconut soup, Chinese food, and coffee-flavored ice cream—but she’ll pass on anything too spicy. She treasures her mother’s paintings, her favorite colors (purple and teal), and any opportunity to talk about her family, her pets, nature, meditation, or music.

Amory, your warmth, wisdom, and light enrich our community every day. We are so grateful to celebrate you this month!
