Meet a woman that is the definition of class and beauty, Bess Poole.
Poole has lived in Gainesville for many years but grew up in Waynesboro and later attended Agnes Scott during WWII. She met her husband Sam Poole during college and they were married in 1949.
After Sam’s training to be a doctor they moved to Gainesville. Sam dedicated his life to medicine and was also community minded. He
was responsible for the creation of Good News Clinics. Good News Clinics provides primary healthcare services to people who may end up in the emergency room.
Bess is a loyal churchgoer and says that her pastor the Rev. Bill Coates is the most interesting person that she has met while living in Gainesville.
Outside of church activities, Bess likes to have dinner at Luna’s and attend theatre shows along with local symphony performances.
Bess added that she has a mantra she has lived her life by that she would share with anyone, “To thy own self be true. Be who you are, no falseness, no pretense. Have acceptance of what comes to you in life.”
