Member of the Month
Frances P. Owens Appreciating the continued contributions of...
Rachel Schut “My name is Rachel Schut and I am a junior in the Social Work undergraduate program at Trevecca Nazarene University. My minor is in art therapy. My mixed media art program provides an enriching art making process for the participants at Fiftyforward. The program tends to focus on seasonal activities such as decorating pumpkins around Halloween, for example. Some other activities have consisted of adult coloring books, stencils, and drawing exercises. The goal of the classes is to create a safe environment for creative expression through visual art and to open conversation about the art making process in community with each other.”
With a heart for serving, that’s Frances. A native of Nashville, raised and educated here. She can tell you about her city, street by street. She spent 45 years working at Vanderbilt Hospital while raising a family. Presently, she has 17 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. Her second family is Pastor Vincent Johnson and the Community Baptist Church 3838 Dickerson Pike. Now retired, she serves the children in Metro school through the FiftyForward Grannies program.
