Watchful Angel To Seniors: Murrieta Local Hero

MURRIETA, CA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we're working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Kathy Heckathorn who nominated her bridge partner, Linda Decquir:

Name: Linda Decquir

Home town: Murrieta

Hero's job: Retired

Relationship to nominee: She's my bridge partner.

Reason for recognition: Linda and her husband, Emanuel, check up on senior bridge players to help them with computer issues, groceries, and a (masked!) smile.

One thing to know: She has a heart of gold and wants to make sure everyone is okay.

Thank you for all you do, Linda and Emanuel!
