Angie comes to work each day prepared to serve our residents!<\/p><p>Angie got involved in senior living when she was 18 years old. She applied to be a server at an Independent Living community and enjoyed serving the residents. Later she started dishwashing at the community, but one day the cook did not come to work, and Angie had to fill in. From then on, she was the chef!<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2497 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3979-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3979-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3979-1024x741.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3979-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3979.jpg 1044w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u201cMy favorite thing about working at Ridgeland Place is the residents, because they always keep you laughing and they always have a story to tell,\u201d says Angie, who has been with Ridgeland Place for 6 years. \u201cThey tell me something funny every day.\u201d Angie recalls a particularly hilarious time when she let a resident be an employee for the day. Standing at the door, the resident welcomed everyone to the community, saying \u201cWelcome to Walmart \u2013 I mean Ridgeland Place.\u201d<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2502 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3984-300x265.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3984-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3984-1024x905.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3984-768x678.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3984.jpg 1055w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Angie always goes above and beyond to serve the residents at Ridgeland Place. While our community was under Brookdale management, Angie was spotlighted in Brookdale\u2019s magazine. She was chosen to be featured among many strong competitors because she decorated an entire hall for Hawaiian luau family night. There was another memorable time Angie made a resident\u2019s 90<sup>th<\/sup> birthday party extra special. Mary, one of Ridgeland Place\u2019s resident ambassadors, wanted to invite all her children and grandchildren to her 90<sup>th<\/sup> birthday party at the community. \u201cMary wanted me to go by her recipes to prepare the meal. She and I sat down, and we planned the meal together. That pretty much made her day because she couldn\u2019t go into the kitchen and cook it herself. I went by all the recipes to a T to make sure everything was nice for her, and it turned out great. That really made her happy.\u201d<\/p><p>Angie\u2019s favorite dishes to make are desserts, and it is no surprise that her pies are among the residents\u2019 favorites. \u201cThey all have a sweet tooth, so they love my lemonade pie, sweet potato pie, coconut cream pie, and one of their favorites is chocolate chip pie. You know this is the South, so they love fried chicken, mac &amp; cheese, greens, and cornbread.\u201d<\/p><p>Angie was inspired to become a chef by watching her Aunt Ava and Grandma Georgia Smoots cook. Each year, her aunt would bake a birthday cake for Angie\u2019s birthday. Angie\u2019s birthday is New Year\u2019s Eve, so Aunt Ava always put sprinkles resembling confetti on her birthday cake. Ava\u2019s specialty was macaroni &amp; cheese, and she taught Angie how to make dressing. Angie\u2019s grandmother Georgia made everything: jelly cakes, pot roast, ham, mac &amp; cheese \u2013 you name it. \u201cShe did everything,\u201d says Angie.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2498 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3980-300x230.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3980-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3980.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Angie grew up in Canton, Mississippi, which is about 20 minutes away from Ridgeland. She still goes to Canton every weekend. Angie lost both her parents \u2013 her mother when she was only 28 and her father when she was 31. Angie is very close to her two sisters, Makeira and LuShun. They try to spend time together at least once a month. \u201cI don\u2019t care what we have going on \u2013 we try to spend one day together.\u201d When asked if her sisters also like cooking, Angie jokes, \u201cNo, I\u2019m the cook, but I made sure to teach both my sisters how to cook their favorite dishes because I told them, \u2018You\u2019re not going to screw up your favorite dish.\u2019\u201d She taught LuShun how to cook pork chops, and Makeira how to fix tacos. \u201cShe can do a pretty good taco now.\u201d<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2499 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3981-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3981-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3981-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3981-768x1026.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/ridgeland-place\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2020\/08\/IMG_3981.jpg 1109w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Angie loves cooking with her daughter, Tangie, who is five years old and just began kindergarten. Like her mom, Tangie loves making desserts. Tangie especially likes making rice crispy treats and giving them to her aunts with Skittles and M&amp;Ms as toppings. Angie enjoys what she calls \u201cwalk and talk\u201d with Tangie on the weekends. \u201cWe just go walking in the park and talk.\u201d<\/p><p>Since the restrictions were implemented in response to the coronavirus, many things have changed in Ridgeland Place\u2019s meal service. The menu changed and the dining room closed, but Angie tries to make everything as normal as possible. Angie will often push a cart down the hallway offering snacks to the residents. \u201cI always tell staff, \u2018This is the residents\u2019 house \u2013 they just invited us in.\u2019 I always try to make everything as normal as possible. Whatever they ask me for, I try my best to make it happen.\u201d<\/p><p>Ridgeland Place is lucky to have such passionate and hardworking associates, and Angie is no exception!
