Aged Care

Beth’s special family heirloom

Meet Beth, a resident at Cooinda Aged Care in Gympie. She recently attended the Liturgy of Welcome for our new chaplain Lionel and graciously donated a family heirloom—a beautiful cross stitch titled ‘Footprints in the Sand.’
This intricate piece, passed down from her mother, now hangs in Cooinda’s newly refurbished chapel.
At the vibrant age of 99, Beth’s wisdom and warm smile shine. She shared a timeless piece of advice: “Where you can, listen to your mum – out of everyone in the world, she usually has your best interest at heart.”
