Fay Cohen

Fay says that she was born with a paintbrush in her hand, and she has spent her whole life being creative. As an art teacher, she enjoyed bringing out the emotion in her students, sometimes using music to inspire them to create.

Since coming to Gurwin’s Assisted Living Community more than three years ago, Fay has continued her love of teaching art, running a class for her fellow residents to help find their inner Picasos!

“One of the things I love about painting is looking for the details in my subjects,” she says. “I teach my students that beauty is everywhere, you just have to look for it!”

At 91, Fay enjoys pursuing her art at Gurwin, but also all the new friends she has made. “I have a lot of fun every day,” she says.

When Fay is not in the art room, working on her own paintings or helping others with theirs, she can be found socializing with friends or enjoying a stroll around the grounds. “It’s just beautiful here, and I’ll be taking my daily walk outside for as long as the weather will allow!”

Beth Stull

Beth Stull moved to Gurwin from Florida with her 10 year old dog Missy. At Gurwin, Beth is always busy! She fits in a daily game of bridge, an exercise class and finds time to meet with her book club. With family nearby, Beth and Missy are happy to call Gurwin home.
