Seniors in 80s and 90s keep busy with charity and fun
Grace Sackett, 97, rides to church on Wendell Avenue while active with the Ladies Benevolent Society of South Church. Chauncey Sears heads the group as it marks a 100th anniversary of helping with handwork and fundraising. Members like Sara Eddy and Dorothy Diamond share comedy, nursing home visits, and community service. Local seniors volunteer, tutor, and entertain, with women from Lenox and Pittsfield sewing, delivering outfits, and making puppets for hospital use.
