Still...Loving those old folk.. Forgotten Angels 2024

  • Summary

  • Forgotten was first featured in our Senior Moments Season 1, Episode 8 in 2020. We are so excited to revisit them again and welcome back the founders Kathi Snow, Sandi King and this time their Mom Peggy McKenney, from Jacksonville, FL

    Kathi, Sandi, and Peggy founded Forgotten Angels as a non-profit organization and have grown this idea over the years to what it is today, serving close to 40 nursing homes and over 3000 elders each year.

    Peggy, originally from Lexington, KY is the mother of 3, retired and has lived in the Jacksonville since 2004. As co-founder of Forgotten Angels, she is the treasurer and as you will hear, is the liaison between the Angles and the nursing home activity directors. Even though she is in her 80's, you will hear how this lady just keeps things rolling!

    Sandi serves as the Vice President and is usually the "voice" of the Angels getting the word out about their activities and making connections.

    Kathi is the President of Forgotten Angels. Everything goes through Kathi! She is in charge of all decision making for all Angel activities and is the "spread sheet" organizer for all they do! 

    The Forgotten Angels continued their mission as best they could in 2020, surviving the pandemic and now moving forward stronger than ever. With the help of a generous community, amazing volunteers and those wonderful patrons who buy that jelly...this organization just can't be stopped.   You will hear how their homemade jelly sales help fund what they do, their growth plan and need for more volunteers.

    ...and a quote from the interview: "Love those old folks. Cause with the little luck in the Lord to see you through one day, you will be old folks too." From the song by Ronnie Milsap, "Old Folks"
