3 Laura McDermaid
1974 to be closer to her husband Francis. If Beverly had to pick the worst job, it would be
5 Eleanor Blair
Ruby Larsen when she worked at Winchel’s Doughnuts because it was too slow. For the most, Beverly
7 Kathleen Wright had worked for Desert Industries before retiring. She has been coming to the Magna Kennecott Senior

Patricia Crosby-Burns
Michael Spence Cline. Often she asks to listen to Patsy Cline in the early morning while playing cards. Her all time
9 John Wilson favorite movies to watch are romantic movies. Now that she lives in Utah, her favorite place to vacation is
Montana where she grew up. If she had one place to go on vacation, it would be Hawaii because it’s very
