ONEONTA – At home, Lorraine Brady gardens for herself.
In the Community Garden on Wilcox Avenue in the Sixth Ward, she gardens in honor of her best friend, Tifanne Wells.
“She was always trying to help everyone,” she said. “She started First Night and the Hometown Fourth of July. She did so much.”
Wells, 44, died in 2015, shot by her boyfriend, George Jones, after an argument outside their home near Emmons on March 7, 2015. He then shot and killed himself.
Since 2017, Brady has kept a plot in the Community Garden, growing vegetables solely for the purpose of donating to local charity organizations.
