Obituary: Winifred Carol Wyman
Note: Winifred's son, John Wyman, wrote the book, "AGAINST HER WILL - A CAUTIONARY TALE"
Two years ago, John Wyman's mother Carol walked out of a nursing home in Rockford, Illinois. She had been placed there for the convenience of others, not for her own well-being and had suffered mentally, physically and emotionally.
When she ended up at John's home outside of Aspen, Colorado, his journey began dealing with nursing homes, courts and family members to provide the best possible situation for his mother.
What he experienced woke him up to the inequities and injustices lurking in the systems which have been established to help our older population.
Rest in peace, Carol.
