Our Team

We have a great team at Shawnee Memory Care – guided by goodness, loyalty, faith, and fun. Contact us anytime, we would love to meet you!

Teri Ellis

Executive Director

Teri has been a nurse since 1997 and a licensed Assisted Living Administrator since 2013. She decided to pursue a career in senior care so that she could carry on her mother’s legacy of mission work for the elders. She has a fervent desire to ensure that our residents are safe, comfortable, and happy. Teri enjoys spending time with family, going to church, camping, fishing, and gardening in her free time.

Misty Carrera

Community Relations Director

Misty Carrera has been a Licensed Practical Nurse since 1995, dedicating the majority of her career to caring for and advocating for older adults. She is passionate about ensuring every resident, especially those living with dementia, has a voice and is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Misty believes each resident should be celebrated for the life, memories, and unique story they carry, rather than being defined by a diagnosis.

Outside of work, Misty enjoys baking, antique shopping, and spending quality time with her husband and children. Her faith in Jesus is an important part of her life and guides the compassion she brings to others each day.

Sheree Stewart

Business Office Director

Sheree was born and raised in Seminole, Oklahoma. She moved to Shawnee in 2018. She has been working in the accounting field since the early 1990’s. Sheree loves interacting with the residents throughout her workdays. Outside of work she enjoys spending time with her significant other, racing slot cars and showing off their classic cars at the local car shows.

Cris Barry

Wellness Director

Cris has always really enjoyed elders and thought that she would be able to help make a difference in their lives. She became a nurse in 2001 and loves that she gets to serve others every day. Cris has been sharing her contagious laughter with Shawnee Memory Care since 2021. When she’s not taking care of others, spending time with her grandkids is her favorite past time.

Madison Truitt

Life Enrichment Coordinator

Madison has had a passion for seniors from a young age. In 2019, when an opportunity opened in the Activities Department, she knew it was where she was meant to be. She finds great joy in creating meaningful moments and bringing smiles to our residents each day. Outside of work, Madison enjoys spending time with her family and caring for her beloved cats and dogs.
