We are very excited to pass along the good news at Immanuel Communities. A very special, longtime resident, Erna Clanton, from Immanuel Village, an Immanuel Community has been recognized in the HONORABLE MENTION category in the LeadingAge's Celebrate Age
Exhibit.  Erna is acknowledged for being a shining example of someone who is living life with extraordinary zest. She is making a difference by sharing her musical talents, serving others and making her part of the world a better place to live.

Erna Clanton was born in 1920 with gift of song and made a career out of this passion. Music continues to be an instrumental part of Erna’s life at Immanuel Village where she has lived for 14 years.  At the age of 92 years of age, Erna is still shaping lives with the Chime Choir and as Immanuel Village’s Choir Director. She uses her gift of music to heal and delight.
