✨Ambassador Spotlight ✨
Mona D move to Solstice with her husband in 2023.
Originally from Wenatchee, Washington, Mona and her husband spent 53 years in Olympia, raising their family. For her career, Mona started out as an elementary teacher, and then pivoted to being a correspondent coordinator with the state of Washington serving under Governor Gary Locke and Governor Mike Lowry.
Mona moved to Solstice to be closer to her daughter in Bellingham. She enjoys Solstice because she gets to know a wide variety of people.
“Everyone this age has had interesting life experiences. The staff is terrific and caring and interested in making our lives richer and as enjoyable as possible for being old.”
Mona enjoys being an Ambassador because she likes people, so meeting new people is right up her alley.
Fun fact: Mona is a WSU Coug, although notes that her son went to UW, so she supports them too…just not during Apple Cup! 🙂
