Betty Rameley of Jackson decorates Jackson Manor with flowers grown on her farm. Rameley has been bringing flowers to the home for more than a year. She started when her mother, who died recently , became a resident at the home. Ever since she continues to brighten up the residents' day with her flowers. Rameley brings a variety of plants, including ferns, rose of Sharons and lilies. She delivers flowers at the home about every two to three weeks, bringing only her best for the residents to view. "The women at the home really enjoy her flowers and question when they will be back after they are gone," one of the nurses said. "I love the flowers, they are so beautiful and they give us something to look at," said Genera Mayfield, a resident at Jackson Manor.
