Through the Years with Mr. Todd
Mark Todd came into my life during a critical moment in time in my professional journey. As my first full-term Chair at the Georgia Health Care Association, he would set the tone and direction for years to come. He has been one of my most important mentors, and for that, I will forever be grateful. I wish Mark and Tina much happiness in the next chapter of life.
– Jon S. Howell, Vice President for Strategy at Community Health Systems of Georgia (former Chairman of GHCA)
I have had many fine moments with Mr. Todd over the last twenty years, but the one thing that stands out is something he would say while I was working on his computer. Now, I’d like to build the scene. We all know Mr. Todd to be the ultimate professional, but one who could have an imposing demeanor, especially regarding things he directly manages. Naturally, it was nerve-racking working on his computer while he hovered behind me, observing what I was doing. However, to lessen the tension, he would say after a few minutes have passed, “A watched pot never boils.” That quote has been influential in my career. The lesson for me is clear: continue to follow your training, policies, and procedures even if immediate success is not discernable. Eventually, you will be able to see the water boiling.
– David Prince, Jr., Vice President for Information Technology at Magnolia Manor
Over the past 30+ years, as Magnolia Manor grew, Mr. Todd accomplished a lot as the third President & CEO of Magnolia Manor. He developed friendships and watched staff families grow and become second-generation employees. His kindness and caring behind the scenes are his best kept-secrets. It’s also a testament to his dedication and commitment to Magnolia Manor and our mission for older adults. Time will only tell what great things await him in retirement. I wish him the very best in the years to come.

est wishes, Mr. Todd, and God bless you. I have really enjoyed working with you all these years!
– Vicki White, Former Transportation Coordinator at Magnolia Manor in Americus
Over the years, I have found myself quoting Mr. Todd so many times in so many situations. One statement he used to say has helped me throughout my career: “If we do the right thing for the right reason, everything else will follow.” This philosophy has been so appropriate to every situation and decision, even the difficult ones, that I’ve made as an Administrator and leader in the organization.
- Jackie Crisp, Administrator at the Magnolia Manor of St. Simons Island Nursing Center
Mr. Todd has been such an important figure for many years. I am thankful for the opportunity he gave me 28 years ago. His decision has had a huge impact on my life. I have appreciated his leadership through fairness and integrity, and his absence will be noticeable. I am confident that he has aligned a team that will carry his legacy and the Magnolia Manor mission, vision, and values forward.
- Daron Butler, Administrator at Magnolia Manor of Columbus West
I have known Mr. Todd for many years as a friend and community partner before coming to work for him at Magnolia Manor in 2020. I am certainly thankful for the opportunity he has given me and appreciate his trust in me. Mr. Todd’s dedication, vision, and guidance over the last 29 years as President & CEO have been instrumental in the success of Magnolia Manor. I am grateful for his servant leadership and wish Mr. Todd and his family a happy and fulfilling retirement.
-Ty Kinslow, Senior Vice President for Communications at Magnolia Manor
Mark provided me with the very best opportunity to both grow professionally and to be an engaged, involved parent while raising my family. I will forever be grateful for his family first philosophy, the opportunities to grow as I lead, and the ability to serve the residents and staff of Magnolia Manor

An Unplanned Career Path… In My Own Words
It has been an incredible 41year journey in my healthcare career. During those 41 years, I spent 39 years at Magnolia Manor and another 2 years at the Presbyterian Homes of Georgia. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the loved ones entrusted to our care and all the dedicated staff members who have provided these services. I have worked hard every day to contribute and support these outstanding individuals.
I’m staring at a blank piece of paper trying to decide how I want my last article for the Magnolia Manor magazine to look. What do I want to say? What would people find interesting? How do I talk about a 39-year career? How do I explain all the important decisions and people that have been a part of my life and professional responsibilities? How can I adequately thank everyone who has been a part of my journey? I can’t, so I will just walk through the timeline of how I became a longterm Healthcare Administrator serving older adults for all these years. It certainly wasn’t planned on my part, but it has been such a rewarding experience.
In 1977, as a 17-year-old high school graduate, I had a plan.
I was an avid hunter and loved the outdoors. My dad had spent his young adult years working in Oregon as a forester. He had connections there and found me a job working with former family friends picking pears after graduation. The important part of this story was I would stay through the fall and complete the hunting season there. I was going to delay my college entrance, having been accepted to Berry College and the University of Georgia. (It was much easier to get into UGA then.)
At the last minute, I got it in my head that delaying college in the fall would somehow put me behind everyone else. I didn’t realize at the time that people of all ages started college at all different times. Now, because of my decision to delay, it was impossible to go to Berry or Georgia in the fall – or so I thought. Nobody said an 18-yearold knew anything. However, I had friends who were going to Georgia Southwestern College in Americus, so I decided that would be my new plan. It’s interesting how the bestlaid plans can change and how our lives often go in such unexpected directions.
I grew up in Albany, but I had no idea where Americus was located. I came to Americus as
Article continued on page 6
an accounting major which lasted two quarters (this was before colleges worked on the semester system). Then I was a math major, thinking I would teach math and coach baseball. This was all followed by periods of indecision about my life goals and finally ending with a business degree majoring in information systems with a minor in math. It was a challenging four-year walk for me to decide what my career was going to look like, and Healthcare Administration was nowhere on the radar at that time. It was not part of the plan.
As I started my senior year at Georgia Southwestern, it was time to finish my planning for what came next. I had worked part-time as a library assistant, then resident hall assistant (RA), and was currently working part-time in Americus at Farmer’s Seed and Feed, thanks to
Frank Joiner and Jeff. All were good jobs, but not my career goals. I had also attended Officer Candidate School with the United States Marine Corps during my junior and senior summers, and I was on track to join the military after graduation as an officer. The most important change to these decisions came about because I also had my resume on file at the Georgia Southwestern College career placement office. My wife Tina and I had dated throughout college and were moving in the direction of marriage, so she was also a large part of the decisions being made. And again, healthcare administration was neither on my radar nor part of my career plan. Then the career placement office called with an interview opportunity for a full-time position at some place called Magnolia Manor.
Mr. Mark Todd and Family
Magnolia Manor. What was Magnolia Manor? Where was Magnolia Manor? I had driven by the front of the campus hundreds of times going back and forth to visit my home in Albany over the previous four years, but now they wanted me to come to interview for a job as Assistant Administrator at night. What did an Assistant Administrator even do? Was I qualified? Can I work full-time and still finish college on time with two quarters left to complete my degree? These were just a few of the questions going through my mind when I walked into the Americus Retirement Center for my job interview. Wade Barr, the Americus Retirement Center Administrator, and Mac Pritchett, the Americus Nursing Center Administrator at the time were waiting for me. Several days after my interview, Elizabeth Herndon, the HR Director at that time, called and offered me the position. The job paid $10,000 a year and they were ready for me to start as soon as possible. I didn’t know if this was a good salary, but I was excited to take the position. It was a different time then, but money wasn’t my main motivation. Little did I know that this job would begin my journey into a career of service and that Servant Leadership, not really defined 45 years ago, would become an important reward to my career.
So, my Healthcare Administration journey began in December 1980 on the 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. shift as Assistant Administrator at Magnolia Manor. I tell people all the time that I was a glorified security guard for the shift changes, but it allowed me to interact with our residents and understand how I could be a part of something important in meeting their needs through service. I wanted to do something that was important and meaningful to others and senior care seemed to be the right choice. I grew up with my greatgrandmother and grandmother both living with my family, so being around older adults was always a comfortable place for me.
I worked full time, Tina and I became engaged, and I graduated from Georgia Southwestern in June 1981. Tina was an education major and still had her semester of student teaching to complete, and I had plans to join the Marine Corps with Officer Basic School Training set for October. We decided to accelerate our wedding plans and got married on August 22, 1981, so Tina could finish school while I was training. I had promised her parents she would not stop school and she graduated in December 1981. All I can say is she started college a year after I did and graduated the same year I did, “I definitely out-punted my coverage.” Good thing I was still working full-time at Magnolia Manor because I flunked my precommissioning physical and wasn’t allowed to join the Marine Corps as planned. My Healthcare Administration career was still moving forward. I continued at Magnolia Manor as Assistant Administrator until July 1982 when I was offered a promotion. Mac Pritchett had left his position as Nursing Center Administrator and I was asked to take his spot. I accepted. This position was strategically located next to our Executive Director, Ray Edwards, so being a complete newbie was covered by his mentorship. He taught me a lot, and I continued in that position until November 1984. My first son, Adam, was born on January 1, 1983. Tina was thriving in her career, but I wasn’t sure healthcare administration was my only career ambition. At 25 years old, I decided to do something different. I have always loved sports, so I moved on to work for Wall’s Sporting Goods. My daughter, Brittany, was born on April 8, 1986, in Americus, and later we moved to Macon. My son, Chase, was born in Macon on May 25, 1987. I appreciate Chuck Wall and his whole family for giving me the opportunity to follow another passion, but things were about to change in my career again.
Out of the blue, I received a call from Frank McElroy the President of the Presbyterian Homes of Georgia. They were looking for an Assistant Administrator for their new campus in Austell, Georgia, at Presbyterian Village, and someone had given them my name. I wanted to return to healthcare administration because, until then, I hadn’t realized how much I was missing the personal satisfaction of making a difference in the lives of older adults. As I stated before, my grandmother and great-grandmother, who died at the age of 96, had lived with us growing up and had shaped my desire to help the elderly. This was my opportunity to get back in the game. Later, I would have the opportunity to return to Magnolia Manor, and in November of 1989, I accepted the Administrator position, which Ray Edwards created to help me return to Americus. I functioned as an Administrator Assistant to the President until March 1992 when I was promoted
to Senior Administrator and given additional duties including Nursing Center Administrator. In October 1993, I was promoted again to VicePresident for Operations. A special shout out to Jackie Crisp who helped me as the Administrative Assistant during my Senior Administrator and Vice President of Operations days. Jackie would later become a facility administrator herself and currently serves as the Administrator for our St. Simons Island Nursing Center.
No one has to remind people about the “Flood of ‘94” around Americus because of all the things that happened. It was a particularly important professional event for me because our President and CEO, Ray Edwards, decided to retire after his home suffered catastrophic flood damage. The Chairman of our Board at that time, Judge Thomas O. Marshall, Jr. lead the Board of Trustees to ask a 36-year-old, maybe not completely qualified, hardworking, and ambitious young man

to lead Magnolia Manor as the new President and CEO. I accepted and became the President and CEO on July 17, 1995. On October 1, 2024, when I retire, it will be 29 years of service as President and CEO. I especially want to thank Joann Sheridan who served as Executive Assistant for my first 11 years and Stacey Wall who has been part of my journey for the last 18 years. We have accomplished a lot together, thank you!
There have been so many personal influences along my career journey, and each has shaped and affected my professional growth. First and foremost, my family. My beautiful wife Tina, who for 43 years of marriage, has supported me, followed me, helped me, and walked beside me all along the way. My wonderful children Adam, Brittany, and Chase are my life’s greatest blessings along with their significant others Britt, Alex, and Ryan, and my great treasures, my grandchildren, Piper, Kennedy, and Luca. There are so many family members, friends, and colleagues who have all helped me have
an extraordinary career, I can’t possibly name everyone. Just know that I appreciate all you have done along my personal and professional journey.
There are professional milestones too, which include not only graduating from Georgia Southwestern with a BS in Business in 1981, but also with an MS in Social Administration in 1993. A few other milestones include receiving my nursing home license on March 2, 1989, working as Chairman of the Georgia Healthcare Association from 2009 to 2011, and Board of Directors from 2005 to 2013. I served on the United Methodist Association Board and EAGLE Accreditation Committee from 1998 to 2008, as well as the Board of Leading Age Georgia, The Council on Aging, and many others. I also served the GSW Foundation, Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis, and other local groups. There are so many people who have contributed to my success over the years, so many staff members, so many professional peers, colleagues, and friends that there isn’t enough space to list everyone, but you each know who

you are, and I thank you. After over 40 years in this business, this healthcare administrator has had a pretty good ride, and I appreciate all of you for that opportunity!
Thank you to the Magnolia Manor Board of Trustees led by our Chairman, Mark Johnson. I have had the privilege to be at Magnolia Manor under the leadership of several Board Chairmen: Sonny Duncan, Tom Marshall, Jimmie Buchanan, and now, Mark Johnson. There have also been many Board of Trustee members over the years who have contributed to Magnolia Manor’s success and have helped me be the best leader possible, thank you.
Thank you to the Senior Leadership team: Hill Fort, Dave Charter, Diane Harrison, Ty Kinslow, and those who came before you. Thank you to each
member of the Corporate Leadership team. Thank you to our Administrators and their teams at each of the facilities. Past and present, each person who has occupied these positions during my tenure at Magnolia Manor has made a difference to me and has been a part of whatever success I’ve had as an Assistant Administrator, Administrator, Vice President, and President & CEO.
Thank you to the families who entrusted their loved ones to our care and the residents who are the heartbeat and pulse of everything we do at Magnolia Manor. I may have accidentally become a healthcare administrator or, more specifically, it was an unplanned career choice, but it has been so rewarding! I have worked hard to be the best person I can be each and every day at Magnolia Manor. It has always been my goal to
Mr. Mark Todd at a Staff Retreat
have the best work environment possible so we can have the best staff available. I have always strived to have the best resident experience for those who call Magnolia Manor home. I hope we have accomplished these goals and continue to strive towards them. Today’s Senior Care world is different from when I first started over 40 years ago. There are more criticisms as expectations have risen to sometimes unobtainable levels. I pray for patience, understanding, and support for all those who follow. Every person’s experience at Magnolia Manor is different, so no one person’s opinion may or may not always reflect the true values and experiences of others, but we have always tried to be the best version of those expectations. I think we accomplished that more times than not.
My deepest appreciation and love to Tina, Adam, Britt, Piper, Brittany, Alex, Luca, Chase, Ryan, and Kennedy. Thank you, Stacey, you are the best.
I can’t believe that Magnolia Manor has been a part of my career path for more than 40 years! It has been my honor and privilege to serve as the President & CEO of Magnolia Manor for the last 29 years. If you are looking for a rewarding, challenging, and deeply satisfying career that serves the wonderful older adults in our communities, I would highly recommend longterm healthcare.
Sincerely, Mark

Magnolia Manor of St. Marys Chaplain, Jamil el-Shair
VALUES
Commitment to Our Faith Tradition
At Magnolia Manor, our faith is more than just a heritage - it’s the cornerstone of our residents’ well-being. We understand the importance of spiritual support in leading solid and productive lives, and that’s why we have professional and compassionate chaplains at each campus. These dedicated individuals are not just a part of our team, but they are crucial in guiding our residents through their spiritual journey, providing them with peace of mind, and making their lives more enjoyable.
We are excited to introduce Jamil el-Shair, our newest addition to the chaplaincy program. Born in Tallahassee, Florida, and raised in the diverse village of Long Island, New York, Jamil’s unique background brings a fresh perspective and a wealth of experience to our team. His exposure to various cultures and religions from a young age has enriched his understanding and empathy, making him a valuable addition to our chaplaincy program. This
diversity in his upbringing has also given him a broad knowledge of different faiths and cultures, ensuring that we can cater to the spiritual needs of our residents from various backgrounds.
“I applaud my parents because even though I was raised as a Baptist, if I said I wanted to visit the Catholic or Episcopal churches with my friends, my parents would say, ‘Go for it.’ When I returned, I would have to tell them what I had learned at dinner,” recalled Jamil.
He grew up in a traditional southern household with his mother, father, and two younger brothers. Jamil always helped his mother with chores around the house. He knew raising three boys was hard and wanted to ease her burden as much as he could.
Jamil attended Hempstead High School in Hempstead, New York, where he got his first taste of theater in their extensive theater program. His involvement in the theater scene introduced him to his passion and further enriched Article continued on page 16
his understanding of diverse perspectives. Living in Hempstead allowed Jamil to be involved with several off-Broadway playhouses, where he met professionals from the surrounding area and honed his craft with them.
“The theater program at my high school was second to none,” stated Jamil. “When I left Hempstead High, I wanted to do theater all the time.”
With the help of a wonderful guidance counselor, he initially decided to pursue geography in college. However, his passion for theater ultimately led him to transfer to Georgia State University, where he graduated with a BA in Theater with a concentration in playwriting. He then received a master’s in divinity from the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC) in Atlanta, Georgia. He also received a Doctorate Degree in Ministry from ITC. Although
he has studied other subjects, Jamil still loves geography and is just two classes away from obtaining his degree.
Family means a lot to Jamil; he is the father of three wonderful daughters and one son. He has spent his life raising them to be strong, intelligent, productive members of society who, like him, have a broad understanding of the world around them. His approach to spiritual care is similar.
Jamil’s journey in chaplaincy spans over 40 years, a testament to his dedication and experience. He began his career as a chaplain in the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church, where he learned the importance of community and the power of faith in difficult times. He then served as a chaplain for the fire service, where he witnessed firsthand the need for
Magnolia Manor of St. Marys Chaplain, Jamil el-Shair, with Resident
spiritual support in times of crisis. His extensive experience in these diverse settings brings confidence and reassurance to his role here at Magnolia Manor, where he continues his spiritual support and guidance journey.
Jamil had been a chaplain for several years, but it wasn’t until 2014 that God called him to minister at a church. He accepted the pastor position after visiting the First Presbyterian Church of Midway. In addition to his responsibilities at Magnolia Manor, Jamil now serves as the minister at Altama Presbyterian. Before this, he was the Director of Spiritual Care at Memorial Health Medical Center in Savannah, Georgia.
One of the many things he wants to share with the residents is a sense of belonging. His mother was in long-term care for several years, and she always wanted to be home. Jamil would like our residents to feel at home while living here. This desire to help others was one of the contributing factors to his decision to join our team. If you would like to join our residents at the St. Marys campus, services begin at 3 pm on Sunday afternoons.
We look forward to seeing what the future holds for our St. Marys campus residents. With Chaplain Jamil el-Shair’s expertise and guidance, it seems bright. If you have any questions or want to learn more about our chaplaincy programs here at Magnolia Manor, visit our website at www.magnoliamanor.com or follow us on social media.

Healthy Mind, Body, and Spirit
It’s no secret that staying active contributes to good health. That’s why Magnolia Manor offers well-rounded activities and services that promote a healthy mind, body, and spirit. We aim to provide opportunities for each resident to explore and experience the full benefits of senior living within the comfort of our communities. As a result, many of our residents have found that life at Magnolia Manor led them down a path of new selfdiscoveries. This was the case for Marie Redmon, a resident who moved to Magnolia Manor of Marion County in May 2023.
Marie’s story begins in Pelham Bay, a neighborhood in Bronx, New York. According to Marie, growing up in the Big Apple wasn’t as dangerous then as it is today. Walking the streets without fear of danger was a much-appreciated privilege. She also experienced the benefits of having hands-on lessons in good work ethics. She and her sister spent long hours working at their father’s grocery store where he sold fresh fruits and vegetables. This is how Marie learned the ins and outs of business, which led her to pursue a career in accounting and bookkeeping.
“My parents were strict. My sister and I worked so much that we didn’t go out. We mainly worked and went to school, which kept us out of trouble. I was always good in math. My teachers wanted me to study electrical engineering, but I chose accounting,” Marie reminisced. After graduating from high school, Marie began working in accounting. She trained people in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and handled the books at different organizations. In between her work managing people and doing math calculations, Marie met Barry Redmon. The two started dating and later got married in 1983. Marie continued working in accounting and retired after 20 years. She quickly decided that her time in the workforce wasn’t quite over.
She and her husband began working in the hospitality industry as trainers for managers at La Quinta Inn & Suites. The job required them to relocate to new branches every two years as a way to remain fresh and well-informed on the latest in the industry. So, they lived in several states in the country; some of which included Texas, Virginia,

Connecticut, and Florida. Their favorite pastime was seeing the sites of each new city.
After several years of traveling around the United States, the Redmons settled in Georgetown, GA, to be closer to family. Barry’s health began to decline, so Marie became his caregiver. As time went on, his health conditions necessitated more specialized care, so he moved to a nursing home for about three weeks before passing away in 2019. Marie continued living in Georgetown but also began experiencing health issues. She eventually had to make a life-changing decision.
“I needed a place where I could receive aroundthe-clock care as I recovered. At the time, I wasn’t aware that hospice provides other services outside of end-of-life needs. They gave me a list of rehabilitative therapy facilities, and Magnolia Manor was one of them. I was so afraid to make this
decision. But now that I’m here, I’m so glad that I made the move,” shared Marie.
Since moving to Magnolia Manor of Marion County, Marie has not only gotten more acquainted with her new home, but she has also thrived! In fact, Marie has uncovered a hidden talent that she had no idea existed. The Activity Director, Tina Gray, brought Marie a canvas to paint one day. Marie loved it so much that Tina brought her a few small ceramic figures to paint, and she has been painting ever since. With every brush stroke, Marie improves. She has now advanced to painting larger ceramic figures, paint-by-number canvases, and wooden puzzles.
“I’m still learning. Sometimes I have to paint over a canvas and start over when I make a mistake or want to change the colors. I just learned that there’s a glaze that you can use to paint over the figures
Magnolia Manor of Marion County Resident, Marie Redmon
when you finish painting. It keeps the paint from chipping or fading in harsh climates,” Marie explained.
A trip to the Activity Room will reveal that Marie has been hard at work. Her artwork ranges from ceramic angel figures to flowers on wooden canvases. One of Marie’s most unique ceramic pieces is a cookie jar shaped like an easter egg basket. Some of her favorite works of art include her dogwood plants and flower paintings. The paint-by-number art projects allow her to blend her long-time passion for numbers with her new-found love for painting. It also challenges her to be more precise with her artistic talents. Despite being at this for less than a year, Marie is becoming quite an artist.
“I don’t have a background in art at all. I did try to paint ceramics once before moving here, but I stopped because my hands shook a lot. I was caring for my husband at the time and dealing with my own health concerns. My hands are a lot
steadier. I believe it’s because I’m more relaxed and comfortable here at Magnolia Manor,” Marie stated.
As someone who enjoys giving to others, Marie has been very generous with her artwork. Some of her masterpieces have made their way into the hearts and homes of staff, resident family members, and people in the community. Putting smiles on people’s faces brings Marie great joy. Additionally, finding her hidden talent and her new forever home have been equally fulfilling.
“I thank God that I found Magnolia Manor through hospice because it’s wonderful here. You can be active because there’s always something to do. The staff are so caring. When I was sick, the nurse responded to it before I could even tell her. She knew how sick I was. She helped me and took care of me. That means a lot to me,” Marie shared. Marie hasn’t decided on what art forms she’ll take up next. One thing is for sure, the possibilities are boundless at Magnolia Manor!

Magnolia Manor of St. Marys Interior Renovations
VALUES
Creative Change and Constant Improvement
Our St. Marys campus engaged in a few home improvement projects, and the residents are highly pleased with the finished results. Thanks to a generous monetary donation, we were able to install new flooring throughout the building. The renovation team added new bronze-colored sconces to the hallways to further accentuate the updated flooring and offer more lighting. We also enhanced the look of the front entrance by applying shark coating to the portico. This fresh coating will provide a better grip and decrease the risk of slipping hazards when entering and exiting the building – especially during inclement weather.
We are excited about these changes and look forward to further enhancements to the living experience for our residents.

I would guess that just mentioning your grandparents brings a smile to your face! I imagine this reference also floods your mind with memories of them and their stories. We all know that grand parents are special. They are full of wisdom and stories of lives well-lived. Our Magnolia Manor campuses are filled with residents who are grandparents. They are grandparents to their own grandchildren, but they also share their grandparent wisdom, life experiences, and compassion daily with our Magnolia Manor staff. We are lucky to have over 1,100 senior residents across our nine campuses to learn from and enjoy!
This year we celebrate National Grandparents Day on September 8, 2024. National Grandparents Day sets aside a day to honor and recognize all grandparents. This is a time for us to celebrate the influence grandparents have on our lives and cherish the memories that we have with them.
Please consider donating to the League of the Good Samaritan in honor or memory of a grand parent or loved one in your life. Each year, dozens of residents need financial assistance, and your gift helps make it possible for them to continue living at Magnolia Manor – even if they can no longer afford it. The League of the Good Samaritan also helps to provide spiritual care for all residents through our chaplaincy program. The League plays a huge role in our ministry, and with your help, we can continue to provide for our senior residents.

Toni Hoylman
After 20 years of serving residents and staff with excellence at Magnolia Manor in St. Marys, Toni Hoylman has traded the many hats she once wore to take on the title of retiree. Toni’s official occupation was Administrative Assistant, but her commitment to Magnolia Manor exceeded her job description. Whether it was activities, community relations, or any department where there was a need, she was sure to lend a helping hand.
Although her friendly face will no longer greet us at the doors of Magnolia Manor in St. Marys, her positive impact will remain a cherished memory.
Happy retirement, Toni Hoylman!
Dandra Foster joined the Magnolia Manor team as a Dietary Aide in December 1988. Since that moment, she has been committed to serving residents and staff at the Americus Retirement Center with compassion and integrity. Whether preparing delicious meals or lending a hand in other departments, Dandra was sure to get the job done and do it with a smile.
Now that she has retired, Dandra plans to spend her free time attending church, visiting family and friends, and vacationing.
We’ll miss you, Dandra Foster, but we wish you the best in your retirement!
