Meet Elaine…
In 2023 Irma will turn 87. She has been manager of her local food bank for many years and is a very active volunteer who can be found organizing shelves, bagging items and being very involved in the operation. She is very active in her church, singing at various functions and enjoying friendships she has developed there. Irma was a member of the Lions Club when it was active in her community.
Irma doesn’t know what it means to slow down. She can still be found working in her garden and doing chores. She is definitely a prime example of a Silver Warrior.
