When residents at Sun City Center, a sprawling retirement community in West Central Florida, struggle with their electronics, many of them now know who to call on: Maria Hodge, one of their newest residents, and also one of their youngest.
Since moving to this 55-plus community last year, Ms. Hodge, 59, has become a fixture among the nearly 11,500 residents, where the average age is 79.
She serves as secretary of the synchronized swim team.
“We have people here who still have what we call the dino-phone,” she said.
And most of the women on my swim team are challenged when it comes to electronics.”
