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.
