The Renaissance: Where Life Is Just Beginning
by Sharon Purvis
The retirement facility in Due West that is now known as The Renaissance operated under two other names and owners before Gary and Marilyn Gilmer bought it in 2013. The former business was closing due to financial difficulties, and the residents had been given until May to move out. As that date grew closer, there were seven residents left. One of them, Joanna Kennedy, had been a high school teacher of the Gilmores at Dixie High School in Due West, and she wrote to them asking for help.
