Jo Ann Koffman, 76, of Indian Land recently lost her husband of 55 years to Alzheimer’s disease.
Boyd Koffman, 82, died May 21 after a long painful year for the Koffman family.
Koffman said her husband wasn’t diagnosed with Alzheimer’s until his death.
But it’s a common problem among the elderly. One in eight seniors over age 65 and one in two over age 80 years have Alzheimer’s, said Seth Zamek, owner/executive director of the Senior Helpers office in Fort Mill. About 5.3 million Americans have it.
