I went to my great aunt's funeral earlier today and was reminded of some funny stories about her. One of them had to do with the nursing home she used to live at. She called 911 to keep the nursing home workers in line!
I think it was about 5-6 years ago. Aunt Ora broke her hip while she was at home. This forced her to have to stay in a wheel chair, so she moved into a nursing home in Shawnee. A year or two later Ora couldn't get any of the nursing home employees to come to her room. She kept buzzing for help. She said she waited close to an hour and nobody came. So she called 911! I don't believe Ora had any problems with the staff after that.
Here's a picture of Ora at her 100th birthday party (Aug. '07):
Here's Aunt Ora's Shawnee News-Star obit. Aunt Ora made the best fried okra and wonderful apple cake! You will be missed.
