Jim Barnhart
For years, Jim’s mother received
meals at home and she always enjoyed seeing and talking to the volunteers. About
18 years ago, his mother-in-law told him the Rossford Area Senior Center was
looking for volunteers to deliver meals. At the time, he was living in
Rossford, but working in Toledo. His company was very supportive and allowed him
the extra time for lunch to travel back and forth.
While delivering meals, Jim values
the importance of spending a little time visiting with clients and checking in
on how they are doing. For this reason, he is always “the first to leave the
center and last to get back”.
Jim is a retired Architectural
Draftsman and has been married to his wife Christine for 55 years. Jim has two
children and seven grandchildren. He enjoys playing golf and Pickleball, and trying
any kind of art such as watercolor, wax painting and fused glass. Over the
years Jim has enjoyed remodeling homes, helping his kids and grandkids with
their projects, and volunteering for church functions.
Thank you, Jim, for your service to the Wood County Committee on Aging!
Judy Jackson May
Judy
discovered the senior center when she began bringing her mother to congregate
meals on occasion, before her mother passed away. At that time, she was not
aware of all of the great activities in which her mother could have been
engaged. Judy then decided it might be nice to take after her sister Constance
and volunteer for WCCOA.
Judy has
been a public school educator for over 35 years. Following in her mother’s
footsteps, Judy began as a speech language pathologist. She then became a low
incidence special education teacher, and then a principal. Following that she
moved to higher education at BGSU. Judy has three beautiful daughters. Her
granddaughter recently began volunteering for the senior center as well! Judy’s
hobbies include spending time with her family, reading and working in her yard.
Thank you, Judy, for your service to
the Wood County Committee on Aging!
