A 93-year-old woman died a slow and agonizing death, as her skin was literally eaten alive by parasites, while workers at a nursing home riddled with health violations failed to act. Now her family wants the nursing home’s owners to pay up, the Washington Post is reporting.
Rebecca Zeni’s life before she got sick stands in stark contrast to her unfortunate last days. Her daughter, Pamela Puryear, says that Zeni was a trailblazer in her day. At a time when most women were expected to marry young and have kids — that is, the ’40s and ’50s — the young North Carolina woman eschewed that in favor of a life of excitement (at least, by the standards of the day). She got a job at a naval base. She modeled in New York (Puryear says that her mother’s face could “capture a room”). She worked for CBS.
