Meet the Baker, Ruth Weaver

Ruth Has the Recipe for Friendship

Ruth Weaver’s home-baked sweet treats have filled tummies and made smiles for over 70 years – and counting! No matter what Ruth mixes in her bowl, it’s made with a recipe for friendship and happiness. She also:

• Ran a dairy farm for 53 years with her husband
• Earned a degree at Canton Business College
• Had a 23-year sales career for a typewriter company
• Enjoys baking in her Assisted Living apartment

Why Copeland Oaks

For many years Ruth’s family, friends and neighbors couldn’t get enough of her homemade pies, cakes and cookies. Later, she left the farm in Monroe County but chose Copeland Oaks for that same sense of sharing and community.

“I bake to socialize,” Ruth says. At age 97, she brings her home-baked breads, biscuits and sweets to the common area, sharing treats with fellow residents who sit and chat. Ruth also takes pastries to friends in their rooms or to brighten the days of our neighbors living in Crandall.

Ruth loves social life at Copeland Oaks – playing cornhole, attending Bible study and doing her daily devotions.

“Living at Copeland is like living with family,” says Ruth. “The residents became my new family after moving to Copeland.”

Meet Angela Burton, Health Information/Billing Clerk

Coworkers nominated Angela for this honor based on her kindness, helpfulness, and compassion for residents.

One peer said, “She constantly goes above and beyond in helping residents and their families understand the road to Medicaid. She often makes time to meet with residents from Copeland and Crandall to answer questions and provide a listening ear.”

Angela has been working at Crandall Medical Center for three years as a health information/billing clerk. In this role, she handles all billing for Medicaid at Crandall Medical Center as well as assists residents with Medicaid applications. Angela has been working with the elderly since she was 16 years old starting out as a nurse’s aide. Previous to coming to Crandall, Angela worked at Salem Hospital and St. Joseph’s also in billing.

Angela’s favorite part about working at Crandall is her interaction with residents and staff. She says, “they make coming to work every day enjoyable.”

Thank you for your hard work and special kindness to our residents, Angela. Congratulations again!
