At 81 years old, Becky Cary made a decision that would lead her to a fulfilling new chapter of life. A longtime resident of Burkesville, Kentucky, Becky had spent many years surrounded by the community she knew and loved. But after the loss of her husband and immediate family members, she began considering moving closer to her son and daughter-in-law in Bowling Green.
The moment that inspired the change was a simple one. While sitting on her front porch, Becky noticed weeds growing in her flower bed. When she stood up to pull them, she realized she no longer had the strength she once did. Rather than seeing that realization as a setback, Becky viewed it as an opportunity to embrace a new season of life.
When Becky toured Village Manor, she immediately felt at home – saying she “knew it was the right place for her.” Now, five years later, she has no regrets about her decision and is thankful to be part of a caring community where compassionate support, meaningful friendships, and independence all come together.
Our entire team at Village Manor, as well as the residents, are all blessed to know Becky. After retirement, she discovered a passion that continues to bring her and so many others joy: quilting!
Over the years, Becky has created countless handmade treasures, including quilts, placemats, pillows, and framed artwork. Her skill and creativity have even earned her two ribbons at the Kentucky State Fair! In addition to quilting, she enjoys crochet, needlepoint, embroidery, and a variety of other crafts that allow her to express her artistic talents.
These incredible talents have helped Becky to not only meet so many new friends at Village Manor, but have had the ripple impact of touching so many hearts. Becky’s gifts, embodied in her beautiful work, create joy for others..
