Resident of the Year

Every year Retirement Housing Foundation honors a resident (sometimes two, we have a lot of great people living in our communities!) from one of our communities who, through their actions and deeds, have enhanced the lives of their fellow residents. These individuals’ actions are very rarely limited to their RHF community; more often than not, they are also active members of their church and various civic groups.

We invite you to meet these honorees and see why they are making a difference in the communities they live in.

2023 Resident of the Year

Cheryl BarkerCheryl Barker
Towers of Jacksonville, Jacksonville, Florida

Cheryl Barker has been a resident of The Towers of Jacksonville since 2014, and in that time has had a great impact on the community and lives of her fellow residents. Ms. Barker believes that a vibrant and social community can have immense benefits for its residents by uniting people from diverse backgrounds to work towards a common goal, and she has used her position as President of the Resident Association to put that philosophy into practice at The Towers.

Cheryl believes that friendship in older adulthood is one of the most important benefits of senior programs and activities. In order to harbor those friendships in her community, Cheryl drives residents to doctor appointments, organizes holiday events, potlucks, and birthday parties, as well as helping new residents with anything they need to feel welcomed. “If you need help, she’s the one to call,” says fellow Towers resident, Patricia Colón.

In her own words, “Whether known as a ‘Towers of Jacksonville Officer’, ‘Resident’, or just simply Cheryl Barker, I hope to continue to be a significant part of the goals that help enrich the lives of senior citizens here, the entire community of San Marco, which includes my church home where I also love serving, for that matter, wherever God and life take me.”

RHF is pleased to present Cheryl Barker with the 2023 Resident of the Year Award.
