EP125:Marlene Purcell is helping to make sure No Child Goes Hungry in Aruba
On this episode of One Happy Podcast, I am joined by Sherry “Jello” Pence, who is this amazing Aruba visitor who has been coming to the island for 20+ years. Sherry started coming to the island with her mom. Recently Sherry passed away and Aruba, in true Aruban, fashion played a part in Sherry being able to honor her in a way she deserved. On this episode of the show, we hear all about this process. We also learn about how Sherry’s long term relationship with Aruba Beach Club has become instrumental in her love for the island.
Today Sherry and I speak about all the things she has experience over the years that makes Aruba her special place. We start at her mom introducing her to the island and end in present day Aruba. If you have ever had the pleasure of getting to know her, you’d know just how fun-loving Sherry can be. The crew at Aruba beach club is one she considers family and she considers them the same.
I have personally never stayed at the Aruba Beach Club but this last vacation I took some of Sherry’s recommendations and visited some of her haunts. When I returned home I made certain to thank Sherry for the places she turned me onto, with Matthews, being a highlight. I look forward to being able to talk to Sherry in the future to get more recommendations because those I already experienced were spot on.
