LeMoyne Star

 

Megan Pace and her daughter Shianna live in Utah County, but they were driving in Draper early Sunday afternoon, October 4. They passed an elderly woman walking along Traverse Ridge Road. After visiting with some friends, they spotted the woman again, some three hours later and 2 1/2 miles away in Bluffdale. “I knew something wasn’t right,” said Megan. “I got this really big prompting to just go ask if she needs a ride.” The woman had wandered away from Ashford Assisted Living and Memory Care. She was confused, dehydrated and exhausted. She was happy to be rescued, but couldn’t tell Megan where she lived. So, Megan called Draper police and was told they’d been frantically searching for the woman all afternoon. This story has a happy ending, but it very easily could have turned out differently. I’m so glad there are people in this world who don’t mind going out of their way to help total strangers.
