Marcia and Clarence Spohn welcomed their friend and neighbor, Rosene Garman, for lunch that featured one of Marcia’s family recipes, Amish baked corn pie.
Meet the Spohns
Marcia loves to cook and entertain, while Clarence, who is a history buff, is a long-time member of the Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley and a former educator at the Ephrata Cloister. Their home at United Zion is filled with mementos from their previous home, as well as their travels. As residents of United Zion, they love living in a small community where everyone is regarded as a neighbor. They were joined by their friend and neighbor, Rosene Garman, for lunch that featured one a Marcia’s favorite family recipes, Amish baked corn pie.
The Importance of Kitchen Design at United Zion
Marcia loves her bright and airy kitchen. The room is awash in natural light courtesy of a door and a window over the sink that provides her with a birds-eye view of Rock Lititz. From the window she can watch the comings and goings of visitors to the campus. (She’s convinced she spied Barbra Streisand on one occasion.) Marcia also appreciates the fact that United Zion’s kitchens are designed with seniors in mind, as elements such as counter heights, appliance placement and safety features are addressed.
Dining Options on Campus
United Zion provides residents with a full range of culinary options, including a full-service restaurant, take-out and the Grab & Go Marketplace.
Food Culture
In addition to sourcing locally grown produce, United Zion residents can put their green thumbs to work in the community vegetable and flower garden.
