Maria Frisby, Ms. Pennsylvania 2004 and founder of the group Angels of Mercy, recently visited the residents and patients at the Middletown Home to spread love and brighten their day. Representatives of Angels of Mercy had been unable to visit the facility during the COVID-19 pandemic, but they returned once restrictions were lifted. During their visit, Frisby and her companions recited poems and gave stuffed animals and hugs to the residents and patients.

Frisby graduated from Middletown Area High School; HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College; and Penn State University. She was featured in the cover story of the March 2023 edition of the magazine 50plus LIFE, which was on display at the Middletown Home as well. She is also working with Jill Murphy Long of JML Films on an upcoming docudrama called "Plutonium Skies and Powerhouse."

Additionally, Frisby will be a special guest and speaker at the Walk With Scissors Cosmetology Academy on Tuesday, April 25, at 6 p.m.
