her sister purchased a rental property on Bradley Lane (Bradley).
Decedent’s sister was responsible for managing the Bradley rental
activity. Decedent became sole owner of Bradley upon her
sister’s death.
During the period under consideration, one of decedent’s
niece/beneficiaries was married to Edward C. McReady, and during
1987 they lived with their 15-year-old son and two dogs at a
residence on Primrose Street (Primrose). The McReadys, at that
same time, also had two daughters who were away from home
attending college. Primrose was within walking distance of
Western.
After her sister’s death in 1987, decedent was 75 years old
and in good health. Although she was independent and capable of
living alone, decedent decided that she could no longer live at
Western. She made that decision because of anguish caused by the
memories of her sister at Western and because she did not feel
safe living alone at Western. She considered living in an
apartment near Western so that her two dogs could be kept at
Western and not confined to an apartment. She located some
apartments with monthly rent in a range from $1,000 to $1,500.
Decedent was not financially able to live in an apartment and to
maintain her dogs at Western.
