Maryanne Chickie A Note From Our New Assistant Managers, Jenny and Dave Dave and I want to thank you all for this opportunity to come to Magnolia Heights and have the opportunity to work for and with all of you. We come to you from Wilkesboro, North Carolina outside of Boone. We spent nearly three years living on the North Carolina Coast before we moved to Wilkesboro, and look forward to this new adventure in Massachusetts. We have been married three years — it’s number two for each of us. We have five children between us. I have three boys and one girl. Dave has one son who lives in Maryland. My oldest child just married the love of his life recently. The middle two boys are active-duty Army, and the youngest girl is in high school. Dave has spent the last 20 plus years working in retail management and loss prevention between Food Lion and Wal-Mart. He grew up in the Southern Maryland area with his two brothers. He loves the Cowboys, Philadelphia Flyers, Chase Elliott Nascar, and the Toronto Blue Jays. Between the two of us, he is the more practical one and the calmer one. I’ve worked in education and EMS providing support via a deployment in the U.S. Virgin Islands with the COVID-19 pandemic where I also obtained my scuba certification. I grew up everywhere as my parents were active-duty Army. I love to do anything creative or outdoors. My grandparents were from Oceanside, Long Island, and New York City. I am the chatty one and can’t wait to get to know everyone, and I am looking forward to seeing snow again. And when it comes to sports, I like whatever team Dave does — it is just easier. We are excited to get to know all of you and hope you are as excited as we are.
