LIFE WITH STORYPOINT GROUP

From Founder to Fan Favorite: Gene Cheers Again at 97

When Candlestone resident Ilagene “Gene” Doehring stepped onto the sidelines with the Merrill High School cheer team, it wasn’t just a walk down memory lane — it was a celebration of a legacy. At 97 years old, Gene fulfilled her Dream Big wish by rejoining the squad she helped found decades ago, proudly wearing the school colors and leading cheers once more.

“I may be 97, but when I was cheering, I felt 17 again,” Gene shared — a sentiment that perfectly captures her spirit and the heart of StoryPoint’s Dream Big initiative. From hand-sewing uniforms in her youth to rallying spirit in the present, Gene reminds us all that passion knows no age.

We chose to entrust a family member to Candlestone for his final months of life. Our research indicated they were the best fit for our needs. It turned out to be the right decision.From the beginning, our loved one received campassionate, competent care. Management and staff were very attentive to his individual situation and needs. He first spent time in an assisted living apartment, then moved to the memory care unit when it became necessary.Finally, when hospice care was needed, Candlestone referred us to a hospice organization they work closely with. Our experience with hospice could not have been better!We had multiple occasions to work directly with the executive and care team directors at Candlestone to address changing needs. They were always readily available, responsive, and caring. They truly have servant hearts and made our journey so much easier than expected.The entire staff exudes the kind of friendliness and genuine caring attitude that speaks well for their training. They were always exceeding our expectations.We highly recommend our friends at Candlestone to those searching for this kind of experience. You won't be disappointed!
