Congrats, Leota Fisher! New Affordable Senior Housing To Be Named In Honor Of The Former Hospice Nurse

PEP Housing is actively working with the City of Petaluma to develop a new affordable senior housing complex to be conveniently located adjacent the downtown transportation hub with Petaluma’s future SMART train stop also nearby.   

On June 19,  PEP’s board of directors surprised long-time board member Leota Fisher with the news that the new complex would be named Fisher Senior Apartments in her honor.   

Leota, a retired hospice nurse who will be celebrating her 98th birthday in August, has been an active board member since 1992, serving for several years as the Board secretary and currently as a member of the Board’s Administration Committee.
