Our Family

Mary Lyn Troop

Executive Director

I grew up in the Madisonville, Kentucky community. I graduated from Murray State University in ’93 with a degree in Social Work and have a double minor in Psychology and Sociology. I am a Licensed Medical Social Worker and a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator. I recently retired from the State of Kentucky, after 25 years of service. I have spent my entire career caring for children, adults and veterans. I have spent the past 16 years serving at the Western Kentucky Veterans Center in Hanson, Kentucky, a 156-bed skilled long-term care nursing facility.

I am married to my husband Mark of 20 years, who is an accountant. We have one daughter, Marlee, who is a Senior at Madisonville North Hopkins. I have attended Grapevine Baptist Church since I was a young child. I am active in my church and local community serving in various clubs and organizations. In my spare time, I enjoy “retail therapy,” reading, camping, and going to a variety of concerts. I have a passion for music and enjoy singing.

I am very blessed to have been selected to serve as the Executive Director at Oak Ridge Sr. Living. I am excited about the next chapter in my life and continuing to serve others in this position. I welcome the opportunity to meet and discuss with those seeking Assisted Living and to share what Oak Ridge has to offer. We are the premier Assisted Living facility in Madisonville. We have a long history of providing ministry with a passion in the Madisonville and surrounding areas. I will strive to continue this legacy and look forward to a long career with GoodWorks Unlimited.
