She is one of several residents who live in the South Suburban Senior Apartments in Harvey near 155th and Center Avenue.She lived in Chicago and worked as a school bus driver, but she had health complications and moved into the affordable housing complex a few years ago. Three years ago, she was in a coma for a month.In 2019, the Preservation of Affordable Housing acquired 120 apartments from the YMCA in Harvey's downtown transit-oriented development district.
