Senior Sisters - Aurelle and Fran

By Todd Cross | Coaches Bert Fox and Mark Mirko

Aurelle Walton, 94, and Fran Scollan, 93, are sisters who reside in a senior living residence called the Athenaeum of Skaneateles. They entered into this stage of their twlight years back in June of 2009. Their lives now center around routine and structure, with the guiding hands of those at the facility at their sides. Memory is slipping away as they try to reflect on their lives and the lives of their 20 children between them. Despite their different personalities, they have come together to live in one room, leaning on the support of care takers.
