UPDATE: A silver alert has been issued by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for an 84-year-old woman who has been missing since Friday night.

Maricopa County officials are looking for Barbara Milecki after she was reported missing around 7:20 p.m. from the Woodale senior living center in Sun City.

Her purse was left in the apartment at the living center, but her wallet with credit/debit cards and her ID were missing, as well as the golf cart she uses at the complex.

She has not been diagnosed with dementia but police say her family has noticed some memory loss issues in recent months. Milecki had a stroke about six months ago that resulted in speech and vision problems.

The search for Milecki is ongoing, and anyone with information should call the Maricopa County Sherff’s Office at 602-876-1011.

We want to hear from you.
