Meet Ken and Helen KillebrewLast year, Ken and Helen waited in anticipation as they watched the Fountains of Franklin evolve. Once the Fountains’ sign and phone number were visible, Helen began calling Ricki Keckley to inquire. They put down a deposit in April 2013 and moved in June 8th. They were one of the first couples to reserve their apartment! The Killebrews met through mutual friends, 68 years ago, and lived only six miles apart in Illinois. Helen attended Roxana High School and Ken attended East Alton Wood River High School. On their first date, they went bowling and while bowling, Ken threw his ball backwards instead of at the pins! The funny experience convinced Helen that he was “the one”. They were married in September of 1947. While Helen was attending college, Ken was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1946, after serving since 1942. He was a 1st Class Boatswain and is very proud to say he traveled over 250,000 miles on the Pacific Ocean. During his years of service, he experienced and achieved a lot and has many interesting stories and memories. While raising three children, the Killebrews worked hard to create a comfortable lifestyle and future. Ken started his career at the Shell Company, advanced to Prudential and then worked as the foreman over utilities with Caterpillar in Illinois. Before becoming a stay-at-home mother, Helen worked at McDonnell Aircraft. As a hobby, Ken and Helen bought foreclosed properties, restored them, and either sold or rented the homes. They had as many as 32 houses at one time. Helen collected the rent while Ken was “the fixer upper man”. He repaired many ‘stools’! After retiring in 1988, they began their dream of driving in their motor home, with car attached in the back, and attended many Navy and family reunions. Now their final destination is the Fountains of Franklin where they enjoy new friends, entertainment and great food. They love the pampering by the Resident Assistants and give them many praises. Ken says Steve Crow, Property Manager, does a great job, but, s-h-h..., don’t tell him.

Meet Becky McFarlane

A New Year at The Fountains

Becky was introduced to the Fountains of Franklin through our residents, Bill and Virginia Fennessey’s daughter, Valerie Hansen. We are very fortunate to have Becky working in our kitchen creating her special dishes for our enjoyment. Becky is originally from Omaha, Nebraska. Her family moved to Bolinas, California where her dad pursued his graphic design career as the Art Director of Rolling Stones Magazine. The magazine moved her family to New York City, and then later he and the family moved to Nashville, where he worked as an album cover designer for CBS Records. As a young adult, Becky decided to follow in her dad’s footsteps and pursued a graphic design career. During that phase of her life, she designed for Jack Daniels, Lenox china, Korbel, and Bols. But, once computers became a part of the design business, she began looking for a different career path. This new path led her to the Nashville restaurant Mad Platters. She started as “salad girl,” then “grill girl,” “sautée girl” and eventually, she served as Manager. She expanded her

cooking creativity by opening and owning her own restaurant, “Yellow Duck,” in Fairview, Tennessee. She received positive publicity in the Tennessean, Nashville Scene and the Bellevue paper. Becky, married, has a 17 year old daughter, Dakota, who just graduated from high school a year early and is considering attending MTSU. Becky’s creativity still leads her to a love of art through forming clay sculptures and many other art projects. She also adores her 10 cats and considers them to be a part of her family. Becky is so glad to be a part of the Fountains’ ‘family’ and is thankful for how the residents warm her heart.
