Although it has been two years since Ottawa County Senior Resources has been able to honor Hall of Fame inductees, the new format for the evening program offered inductees and their families ands friends the opportunity to experience these important moments with their loved ones.

The 2022 Senior Hall of Fame inductees include: Weata Hoop, David Morgan and Dianne Rozak, nominated by the Danbury Senior Center; Wilma Smith and Kevin Gladden, nominated by the Genoa Senior Center; Irma Dorski, nominated by the Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services; Essie Cole, nominated by the Port Clinton Senior Center and Richard Gump, nominated by the Put-in-Bay Senior Center.

In addition, Roger Thompson of Port Clinton and Sandy Mohrman of Graytown were nominated by Ottawa County Senior Resources for their assistance with the Home Delivered Meal Program.

This year, Senior Resources introduced a new award to recognize those individuals who continue to go above and beyond to support the programs at Senior Resources. This year’s recipient of the first ever Friends of Ottawa County Senior Resources Award went to Arlene and Milton Wilburn for their continued passion, generosity and enthusiasm for its programs. Each recipient received a plaque commemorating their service to the seniors and citizens of Ottawa County.
