Our Host, Lori La Bey talks with Lisa Ronke from Watertown, South Dakota. She worked in Sales, Marketing, Event Planning and most recently retired as a Project Manager/Paralegal from a local law firm. Needless to say she was a good organizer, but when her Husband Ed was diagnosed with Early onset ALZ at age 51 she found dementia was not something you could organize once and put into a file or a drawer. Dementia has a mind of it’s own. Ed’s lived 6 ½ years and passed away at the age 57, on Nov. 28, 2021. Today, Lisa will share insight about the disease and how the life-altering, dream-shattering diagnosis affected their lives.
