Bonding Amid Florence's Aftermath in Fairfield Harbour
Barbara Abey and Mary Olstad formed a deep friendship after Hurricane Florence. Mary, who lost her husband and endured a back injury, found shelter with Barbara, who offered her home for six weeks and helped her downsize. Mary later moved to Courtyards at Berne Village, finding peace and a new home for her dog Molly with Betsy Conzelman. The story highlights resilience as residents adapt through retirement moves, rental upheavals, and ongoing FEMA and insurance challenges.
