Happy👏 International 👏Women’s👏 Day 👏and welcome to another installment of “What is Your Story,” an opportunity to learn about the fascinating lives of The Woodlands residents!

Meet Maureen Kennedy 👋
Maureen was born in County Offaly in the Irish midlands 93 years ago!
She learned violin and piano from an English family escaping Germany during the war and was the leading soprano in Dublin operas! 🎶

After the war, in the fifties, there was little opportunity for single women to make a living wage. Maureen went to ‘jolly ol’ London and worked as a bank clerk and taught herself to type with a rented typewriter. A school friend working in NYC invited Maureen to come stay with her in 1963 and the rest is climbing the corporate ladder HERstory! Starting a career in the early days of women’s liberation, Maureen always has been a woman of great independence and determination to succeed on her own! 💪

Find out how Maureen knew Fairfax Virginia and The Woodlands Retirement Community was her future home and more by visiting buff.ly/3ToQysj

Whether you already live here or are considering joining our family as a new resident, we hope you enjoy these and future stories as much as we enjoy sharing them!

The Woodlands residents never retire their desire for learning! 🧑‍🎓

Last week, residents filled The Woodlands theater to hear special guest, and George Mason University Dean, Mark Rozell’s presentation on “What is the Political South?"

The enlightening presentation explored how the South has fundamentally changed-creating entirely new challenges for the two major parties as they attempt to appeal to the region’s
changing demographics.

Mark J. Rozell, Dean of the Schar School of Policy and Government, is the author or co-author of thirteen books and editor of twenty books on various topics in U.S. government and politics including the presidency, religion and politics, media and politics, southern politics, and interest groups in elections.
