Expression of love at Merrill Gardens ~ Gig Harbor








Debra Nesseth of Merrill Gardens ~ Gig Harbor (retirement and assisted living community) is shown in these photos with expressions of her love for the residents of Merrill Gardens.

Officially, Debra is the lead housekeeper at Merrill Gardens. Unofficially, she has a seemingly boundless natural gift for showcasing her design talents and creativity as she creates holiday and seasonal displays in a special lighted cabinet at Merrill Gardens.

Currently, Debra has combined photos of residents and past residents in a stunning arrangement on each shelf of the cabinet as a celebration of love between the couples intermixed with cherished knick-knacks, lace, and frills. Debra's merry spirit and cheerfulness plus her design talents make her beloved among the Merrill Gardens team members and residents.

Thank you Debra for going beyond the call of duty and the perimeters of your job description to lend your eye for beauty and talent for display to enhance the quality of life for your fellow man....
