THE WATSON FAMILY

Jennifer, Jim, John, and Carol

 

      

 

John and Carol met in high school when they were sixteen and have been together ever since.  John comes with a background of management from working at Stu Evans Lincoln Mercury.   He has been on the Lexington fire and rescue department since 1990.   He is a licensed fireman and medical first responder.  You will see John repairing this and fixing that, buying groceries, talking to our residents, maintenance projects, or maybe on scene at an accident or on a rescue. 

 

Carol Watson worked at Hewlett Packard and was the Ford/GM/EDS hardware contracts specialist for several years.  She also has experience in administrative, marketing, bookkeeping, and purchasing for over twenty-five years.  Carol grew up in a home where her father had a lot of medical problems and a grandmother who had several strokes before she was born.  Taking care of people was second nature.  Carol  observed her  mother's patience and compassionate kindness while she was growing up.  She volunteers at the Sanilac County Historical Museum in the spring and fall giving tours to school children. At Watson Manor, she is primarily the administrator and stays closely involved with day to day operations.  Carol is the Lexington Business Association treasurer and web administrator.  In her free time she bowls and builds web sites.

All 4 of us are trained in CPR, first aid, medication disbursement, and take classes throughout the year.  Our children Jim and Jennifer have grown up in our foster care home most of their life.   Jim received his master’s degree in physical therapy on April 28, 2006 and runs a physical therapy clinic for surgeons next to Providence Hospital.  He also provides physical therapy with a home care agency.  Jennifer graduated from Saginaw Valley State University with a bachelor's degree in science and a minor in psychology on May 12, 2007.  She attended Kent State University in Ohio for a year of grad school.  She accepted a position at Golder Associates in Ft. McMurray, Alberta, Canada, which is an environmental consulting firm.  Jennifer is a project coordinator and loves her job!
