She loved her family and treasured every moment she spent watching her great grandchildren play with her bucket of toys. We are grateful for the devoted care our mother received at Maple Springs Assisted Living Center. She thoroughly loved the personal attention she received from the staff and the association she had with the residence through the activities and entertainment. Also, we want to thank IHC Hospice for the great care they provided until her passing.
