❤️ Honoring Lucille Martin ❤️

We were truly honored to be part of the dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Lucille Martin Chair Volleyball Pavilion at the Market on State. We were especially grateful to have the opportunity to hold the ribbon and be included in such a special tribute.

Lucille was a longtime member of United Seniors of Athens County and made a lasting impact on our senior community. Following COVID, she was instrumental in bringing chair volleyball back to our seniors here in Athens. Having participated in chair volleyball for more than 20 years, her love for the game and the friendships it created will not be forgotten.

A heartfelt thank you to OhioHealth UpBEAT for making this dedication possible and for including United Seniors in honoring Lucille's memory. It meant so much to be part of this special occasion.

The next time you're at the Market on State, be sure to stop by and see the Lucille Martin Chair Volleyball Pavilion! You can also join OhioHealth UpBEAT for a game on the first and third Thursday of each month at 10:00 AM.

What a wonderful way to honor Lucille and the legacy she leaves in our community. ❤️

Sometimes happiness greets you at the door—with a wagging tail. 🐾

In this full-length Age Well Athens County conversation, we explore what pets can mean as we grow older: companionship when the house feels quiet, a reason to get moving, daily purpose, and plenty of unexpected laughter.

We also look at the practical questions every older pet owner should consider:
• What kind of pet fits your life today?
• Can you manage its daily care and expenses?
• Who can help if you become ill or need to be away?
• How can you plan for your pet’s future?

Whether you share your home with a dog, cat, feathered friend—or simply cherish memories of a beloved companion—there’s a place for your story here.

💬 Has a pet changed your life? Share their name and your favorite memory in the comments.
