owski was born April 24, 1939, in
Bytom, Poland. After graduating
high school Margarethe proceeded
education in the nursing field in
the Katowice community and later
changed career path as a secretary.
Margarethe resided in Germany

Oregon.
Among her special interests,
Margarethe enjoyed gardening and

Polish foods. She enjoyed beach

TALK ABOUT BRAIN
EXERCISING, my head was
swelling with all the impressive
information I was taking in
while chatting with KELLY
JARMAN, our Senior Center
Certified Personal Trainer, who comes to
our building twice a week, Mondays and
Wednesdays. She leads, along with helper
MARGARET BROWN, a fun-filled, co-ed
class that can’t wait to meet the next time,
judging from all the laughter and interaction
emanating from our exercise room. Kelly
specializes in balance, memory, flexibility,
stretching, using light weights, and brain
games during these classes and also is certified
in working with seniors with Parkinson’s and
light strokes, holding a certification from
the National Academy of Sports Medicine
qualifying her to work with people of all ages.
So rest assured Kelly means it when she says
“We want you here for fun and interaction!”
Pop in at 10:30 on those days and hear about
other class options as well.
AH YES, THERE’S NOTHING
PUZZLING about what goes
on around here. Well, unless
you try to out-time some of
our seniors like PAT RAY and
our puzzle races. We have
some sharp senior brains
that participate in Kelly’s
classes and her brain games!
