I grew up on Edinboro Lake…our family was year-round residents enjoying all four seasons.  But, the summers were the BEST….swimming, biking, fishing, waterskiing….and reconnecting with friends who lived in Erie or Pittsburgh.  I moved away to teach near Hershey, but my heart always came HOME to the lake.  Fast forward 34 years…I chose to retire on Lakeside moving into my childhood home.  I couldn’t be happier!

Having found a great location on the great lake Edinboro in 2009, I moved to Edinboro in 2011. Soon after moving, I joined ELA and have been on the board since 2013.

I found Lakeside for our retirement life after being away from Pennsylvania for 42 years. Edinboro is the perfect sigh of relief after retiring from the Air Force and South Carolina school system! I joined Lakeside Board in June 2022.

I have lived on Lakeside for 30 years. I love it here because everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the lake and once you spend time here you’ll find out there are more reasons than just the water to love!

My roots in Edinboro go back to the summers of my youth — swimming, boating, fishing, waterskiing — enjoying the idylic pleasures of a childhood spent on Lakeside — my “happy place”! So, when my husband, Rick, and I retired four years ago, I found my way back. And he followed me. We built a permanent home on Lakeside and, as the newest board member, I’m motivated to continue to make Lakeside a happy place for all!

My son and I have lived on lakeside since 2016 and we love it! The lake and beach area draw a lot of people to this area but the community is why people stay.

I've lived in rural Edinboro for 30 years with my husband and our two children. About 7 years ago, we purchased a cottage on lakeside to begin our retirement transition. I became a board member in 2021 and love supporting this wonderful community!
