June 3, 2025: Unique and Memorable Obituaries

By Alexandra Newman, Region IV Area Agency on Aging

Whether you want to get a jump start on your own obituary, or you want to be prepared for writing someone else’s when the time comes, join us for this presentation and discussion on how to tell the story of someone’s life. Learn tips and tricks for capturing those special things about a person and even what you can leave out if you’re short on space. We’ll also touch a little on grief and the healing power of storytelling.

Alexandra Newman is the communications and outreach coordinator at Region IV Area Agency on Aging. A journalist by training, she uses a variety of mediums to tell the story of Area Agency on Aging. A job at The Herald-Palladium newspaper brought Newman to Southwest Michigan in 2017 and she instantly fell in love with the unsalted Lake Michigan coast. After the experience of writing obituaries for her grandparents, she decided to launch a class at the Campus for Creative Aging to help others write these tough, end-of-life stories.

March 18, 2025: History of the Ladies’ Library Associations of Michigan

By Sharon Carlson, President, Kalamazoo Ladies’ Library Association

Ladies’ Library Associations existed in more than 100 communities in Michigan between the 1850s and early twentieth century. Many provided the first subscription-based library services, and some helped shepherd public libraries. This program will provide the background that made Michigan so well suited to these institutions and tell the stories of some of the women who helped promote this movement. It will also talk about the evolution and decline of the movement, as well as the tangible legacy these organizations left behind.

Sharon Carlson retired as head of Western Michigan University’s Zhang Legacy Collections Center in 2020. She is an archival and historical consultant and has worked for the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame and the Meijer Corporation. Ms. Carlson has graduate degrees in history and library science with the main focus of her dissertation research having been on ladies’ library associations in Michigan. She is currently the president of the Kalamazoo Ladies’ Library Association and has served as president of the Historical Society of Michigan.

Information on how care is paid for will be provided as well as the benefits of early admission. Angela will also offer information on primary care in the home, grief healing and education, veteran support services and advance care planning.
