Sylvia Sutherland

“My advice for people, whether you are young or old, is always try to get involved, whether it’s with your church or something else. I think the critical thing is not to be alone, to have support.”

“I think it’s good to have friends of various age groups, and I enjoy my younger friends a lot. I think that’s important.”

“I think it takes a little while after you retire just to sort things out. As soon as I retired as mayor, I got all these calls asking if I would join this committee or that committee. Your temptation is to say yes, but I advise somebody who has just retired to step back and consider what they really want to do with their days and not to jump into everything all at once.” Sylvia Sutherland
