Flourish®: A Senior Living Magazine | Fall 2024 Issue

SUZANNE EDSON: Embracing the Thrill of Life at Any Age At Cedarhurst of Woodland Hills in Tulsa, OK, residents are no strangers to pursuing their dreams, no matter their age. For Suzanne Edson, this philosophy came to life when Cedarhurst Senior Living made her dream of ziplining a reality. The adventure took her to the Post Oak Lodge in Tulsa, where she experienced the thrill of a lifetime. “When I first found out that Cedarhurst was going to make my dream come true, I couldn’t believe it,” Suzanne recalls. “It’s not like me to do something like this, but I had an amazing time that I will always remember.” Suzanne’s love for adventure began years ago when she went parasailing. The exhilaration of soaring above the water left her wanting more, and ziplining seemed like the perfect next step. “I’m never too old to stay young!” Suzanne said with a laugh. The encouragement from fellow residents and staff at Cedarhurst of Woodland Hills made Suzanne’s experience even more special. “They were all so excited for me and asked so many questions,” she says, laughing as she remembers their curiosity. With a blend of humor and bravery, she reassured them, saying, “No, I’m not afraid— I’m just a little crazy!” Suzanne’s message to others is simple: “Do what you want to do, no matter your age, and just give it a try!” Her ziplining adventure proves that chasing lifelong dreams and embracing new experiences brings joy at any stage of life. As Suzanne puts it, age is no obstacle to living life to the fullest.
