Robert Eugene Meade May 11, 1930 – April 14, 2021
Joanne Mosher was born in Milton Michigan and grew up on a farm in South Bend, Indiana. She played viola in the South Bend Symphony, graduated from Mishawaka High School, and worked at a clothing boutique. She realized she wanted more out of life than hanging out with friends, going to dances and having fun on the beach. She obtained her private pilot license at the age of eighteen and received a scholarship to The Art Institute of Chicago. After moving to Chicago to attend the Art Institute, she stayed with a family and worked to support herself. Her education was interrupted for a brief period of time to care for her mother.

The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America recently awarded grant funding to Goddard House in Brookline to bring Opening Minds Through Art, an intergenerational art-making program for older adults living with dementia, to underserved communities in the Boston area.
Building on success introducing and piloting OMA at the Goddard House assisted living memory support neighborhood in 2016, Goddard House Community Initiatives will use the $6,000 AFA grant to help launch its OMA in the Community program to help increase arts equity and access to underserved Boston-area older adults living with dementia. A priority is to provide OMA programs, preferably in English and Spanish, to nursing homes, adult daycare providers and other elder care organizations.
