Five Couples Renew Marriage Vows Amid Dementia Treatment
Seven couples with a combined 382 years of marriage renewed vows to honor enduring love and resilience while living with dementia, Anthem Memory Care staff said.
- On Feb. 12, seven couples renewed their vows at Anthem Memory Care Community in West Chester, with WLWT News Five anchor Ashley Kirklen covering the ceremony.
- Because many residents live with dementia, staff planned a vow renewal to honor couples married 50, 60, and 70 years at the Anthem Memory Care Community.
- Together the seven couples represent a combined 382 years of marriage, and Richard Menna, longtime resident and husband, shared their story including Frank Sinatra music and his first dance with Eileen Menna.
- Liberty Place staff said they were honored to help create joyful memories and called the ceremony a celebration of love's resilience.
- Because dementia can cause intermittent memory loss, family members said the ceremony underscored caregivers' emotional work and the importance of music and films as memory triggers for residents living with dementia.
