First Presbyterian Church (700 Sheridan Road, Lake Forest) Summer Book Club: The New Testament Therapy From Page 19 Music can be a vital way to interact with dementia patients and enter their world. “Singing is kind of the link between communicating and not communicating,” Cook said. “So, for some residents, I think it’s a pathway to more communication with people, and it puts them in an emotional state where they feel safe. So, even if they don’t know exactly what’s going on, or they don’t understand communicating with another person, music is a familiar language especially the songs we do that are the most familiar to 11 a.m. Every Sunday.

To see that we are making inroads with them and they are appreciative of what we are able to do with them, to feel good about themselves, that really makes us feel good,” he said. Majlis Anderson Majlis Anderson, 93, of Lake Forest, died July 5. Born in Åland, Finland Jan. 7, 1925, she was raised on her family’s farm of eight cows, two horses, and one pig. She met U.S. Army Sergeant Karl Harry Anderson when he returned home to Åland to visit his mother and attended a dance at which Anderson played the accordion. They married, then immigrated to New York City. She learned English by reading the newspaper and watching Westerns. She ran their twobedroom home, which included her husband, daughter, Diane, two brothers, and a brother-in-law. She lived a dual-national life with family and friends both in the U.S. and Finland, playing cards, dancing and drinking coffee. They retired to Boynton Beach, Fla. and after Harry’s death, she stayed there another five years. In 2006, Hurricane Wilma encouraged Anderson to move in with Diane and her family in Lake Forest. She was the original “just-do-it” woman of three generations, a constant model of style, a warm heart with hugs at-the-ready for all, and a world traveler to the very end: she climbed all 284 steps of the Arc de Triomphe three months ago. She is survived by her daughter, Diane (Douglas) Nieman; grandchildren, Carrie Nieman (David Emerson) and Andrew Nieman. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made in her memory to either: Access HEARS, 4102 Underwood Road, Baltimore, MD 21218, www.accesshears.org or Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Senior Citizens Foundation, 100 Old Mill Road, Lake Forest, IL 60045, www.lflbsc foundation.org. Ann Healy Ann Fulton Healy (nee Kittredge), 87, of Lake Forest, died July 4. She was born July 16, 1930, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Robert Leaman Kittredge and Elise Kupferschmid Kittredge. She was the widow of Thomas Philbrick Healy, married in 1951. Healy completed her bachelor of arts degree from Northwestern University in 1966, while raising her three children. She also served as a member of the League of Women voters and on the founding board of Reading-is-Fundamental, Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Healy also helped to found Church of the Redeemer, an Anglican parish now in Deerfield. In later years, after her children were grown, Healy established a property management firm, in Chicago, with the philosophy that quality rentals could be provided at a modest rent. She is survived by her three children, Thomas (Gia), Michael (Heidi), and Diana Kittredge Simpson; grandchildren, Grace, Tyler, Calvin, Glynnis and Dillon; step-grandchildren, Brittney and Hunter. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Aug. 4, 2018, at 1:30 p.m., at Lake Forest Place, 1100 Pembridge Dr., Lake Forest, IL, in the Vail Room. Memorial donations to the employee scholarship fund may be made payable to the Geneva Foundation. Please make a note that the donation is for the Mary Barrow New Hope Scholarship Fund.

She was a 1965 graduate of Mundelein College. She met her husband, Thomas, in Chicago in 1963, and they were married in 1965. She worked as a teacher in Cicero from 1965 to 1969, retiring when she became pregnant with her only child, Michael, born in December of 1969. Her sister, JoAnn Degnan, passed in 2009. Her parents were Bessie and John Mullen, of Chicago. John retired as Deputy Chief of the Chicago Police Department in 1972. She was very proud of her father, and carried his penchant for integrity and care for others for all of her life. Like her mother, Bessie, she was a voluntary housewife who stayed at home to raise Michael and take care of their homes in Lake Forest and Crystal Falls, Mich. Her favorite things in life were her dogs, Stormy, Ingo, Keara and Karli, the latter still alive, well and missing her dearly. She is survived by her husband, Thomas; son, Michael; siblings, Jane Gilligan and Michael Mullen. Robert W. Ogden Jr. Robert W. Ogden Jr., 81, of Lake Forest, died July 3. Born in Lynchburg, Va., he enrolled in the University of Lynchburg then enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving as a lieutenant in the 101st Airborne Ranger Division. Following his discharge, he finished his college career and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance. He moved to southern California and started what would become a distinguished 49-year career in the insurance industry. He first joined Allstate where he rose through the ranks over a 25-year tenure, and later moved to Assurant Health in Milwaukee where he finished his career as senior vice president. Always active in the community and his church, he served on the Lake Forest Building Review Board and was a member of the Planning Commission, and served as a ruling elder at First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest. He was a quintessential American car enthusiast with a keen eye for detail and commitment to perfection. He received numerous awards for restoring his original 1962 Corvette, including the prestigious Triple Crown award. He also received the National Corvette Restorers Society’s (NCRS) coveted DUNTOV Mark of Excellence Award. Not only did he enjoy life to the fullest, he shared it with others by authoring four volumes of short stories entitled, “When We Were Young with Our Corvettes.” The books capture the carefree nature of life in early 1960’s California through many adventures in his ‘Vette. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Heidi; children, Bill and Stephanie; and four grandchildren. He will be fondly remembered by his family and dear friends as a loving father and husband, published author, restorer, artist, and a U.S. Army veteran. A memorial service for Bill will be held on July 26, 2018, at 3 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest, 700 N. Sheridan Rd. Memorial donations in memory of Bill can be made to www.garysinisefounda tion.org/garysinise-foundation. Have someone’s life you’d like to honor?
