50 Years of Healing, Heart, and Home. Ellen Coomer, Appalachian Nurse. FOA Ep. 20

Join us for an inspiring journey through the storied life of Ellen Coomer, a dedicated nurse, community servant, and lifelong Appalachian resident from Madison County, North Carolina. In this episode, Ellen shares heartfelt stories of her childhood, attending school in a two-room schoolhouse with outhouses in the hill, and working alongside her father on the family farm. As you watch, you’ll hear one fascinating story after another from her life, told in her own words. One of our favorites is her tale about her father tying her to the horse-drawn sled so she wouldn’t fall off as they headed home across the mountain with provisions. A graduate of Berea College in Kentucky, Ellen devoted her career to nursing, serving at Mars Hill College and beyond. She reflects on the challenges and joys of Appalachian farm life, the importance of family and community, and the values that shaped her dedication to healthcare and service.
