Caregiving Story

Mrs Mccoppin

Location: Texarkana, TX
Age: 97
Cared for by: Marilyn Odom
Years of Care: 10
I took care of this woman for 4 years, assisting with all of her daily activities. She had heart attacks, stroke and dementia as she came close to the end of her life. But she was a wonderful school teacher for years. She was so sweet all of the years I worked for her. Her daughter lived in Seattle, Washington, a long ways from us. But, she was a great person and would visit her Mom often. She always said she appreciated all the help I did for her Mom. I really miss her but I still love working for seniors and assisting with all of the care they need.
