Wilma Graden’s Love Affair with Her Piano

On Wednesday morning, March 3rd, Mayflower Health Center resident, Wilma Graden, was reunited with her Mason & Hamlin piano. The piano was previously located in Mayflower’s Beebe Assisted Living building where Wilma was living. When she moved to the Health Center during the pandemic, precautions prevented moving the piano in 2020.

Now, with 98% of Mayflower residents having received two doses of the coronavirus vaccine, the staff is beginning to initiate more activities. This included moving the piano to the Health Center.

When Wilma came into the Health Center activity room and saw that the piano had been moved there, she lit up, sat down, and began to play. Later in the day, she gave a concert to a small group of friends. It was music to everyone’s ears!

Thank you, Wilma! In addition, thank you to Mayflower staff, led by Joe Derby, Technology and Risk Management Department Head; and Jack Morrison, Director of Facility Operations, for making the move possible.
