ANDREA RANKIN (Andrea Rankin says she isn\u2019t happy when she doesn\u2019t have a project.)<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Age: 80<\/em><\/span>
\nRetired women\u2019s health center director<\/em><\/span>
\nLives in: Cortland, N.Y.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Ms. Rankin worked for 25 years as director of a women\u2019s health clinic. In retirement, she has stayed involved in her community.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I don\u2019t have a project, I\u2019m not happy,\u201d said Ms. Rankin. Currently, she is writing grants to shore up Cortland\u2019s aging YWCA building. Before that, she helped build housing units for domestic-violence victims. A major professional accomplishment, she said, was a communitywide project that cut teen pregnancy in her county.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Ms. Rankin is remarried after a divorce and said counseling helped her through hard times. She stays physically active, working out with friends four times a week.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had a very full, wonderful life, and so if I died tomorrow, I would be satisfied with what I\u2019ve accomplished,\u201d said Ms. Rankin.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
