Windward Gardens staff, residents bid farewell to MacConnell
Camden — Jane MacConnell of Montville steadies a 12-foot McIntosh apple tree given to her in gratitude by the residents of Windward Gardens Assisted Living in Healthcare Facility.
MacConnell retired after serving as recreation manager for many years at the facility. She initiated the Resident Council as a forum where those who lived at Windward Gardens could ask questions and raise concerns. She arranged activities for every morning and afternoon, Mondays through Saturdays and one evening each week.
In addition, she knew every resident by name and inclination. She was loved and respected by all who knew her.
