🌟 Resident Spotlight: Trish Weigel 🌟

For Trish Weigel, Cornwall Manor is more than a home—it’s part of her family legacy. As the granddaughter of The Rev. Dr. Levi Zerr, our founding administrator, Trish’s childhood was filled with memories of exploring the campus, helping her grandmother cook, and watching the Chapel rise in 1959.

Now, Trish and her husband Charlie have come full circle, returning as residents in 2025. Their story is one of faith, family and deep connection to Cornwall Manor’s history.

“I think my grandfather would be thrilled beyond words to see what Cornwall Manor has become,” Trish shares.
