People of Parkgate
Stories from our Community
We all carry with us a unique and special story.
Here, we regularly feature stories about the lives of people living in and around the Parkgate community. We celebrate each person’s life story – we learn, we are inspired, and we see the diverse nature of our community.
Desiree Olsten
With deep roots in the local area and an eye on the future, Desiree Olsten lives a life in alignment with her belief in the value of community and placemaking.
John and Donna’s Story
He was on the high school football team and she was a cheerleader. It is the genesis of dreams and of movie plots but for Donna and John, it was the beginning of a true story of life-long love and a commitment to doing good in the world.
