Gillette woman’s lost wedding ring returned

GILLETTE (WNE) — A woman staying at the Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center lost her wedding ring while giving out treats during the center’s trick-or-treating Halloween event — and it was returned less than a week later.

Marcia More, 66, was checked in at the center the day before Halloween for a 30-day rehabilitation stay to recover from a combination of illnesses.

While giving out candy during the Halloween event, More’s wedding ring ended up in a trick-or-treater’s candy.

Legacy Living staff released a post on Facebook to query the public about the lost ring. More said their efforts to find the ring went “above and beyond.”

“They were awesome,” More said. “Every single (staff member) knew about it.”

The mother of the trick-or-treater who had inadvertently collected the ring, Annabelle Cervantes, said the ring was found after she and her five kids were going through their Halloween candy haul. She got in touch with Legacy Living care manager Renee Robidart to reconnect the ring with its owner, according to a press release.

More’s husband bought her the ring about 30 years ago to replace the one that had to be removed during a previous illness about five years into their marriage.

“We figured we’d never see it again,” More said. “I’m just relieved it was found. That there are a few honest people left out there.”
