I have a senior that comes to my senior citizens center where I work and she doesn’t speak any English. I’ve taught her a few words here and there and learned a few but I can’t figure out what this means. Help!!

This is mandarin, 吉祥! Ji Xiang! It means optimistic and auspicious. Having characters like this, 福 (fu, good fortune, luck) around you as either decorations, or clothing/jewelry is very common in Chinese culture and is thought to bring good luck, happiness, and whatever else the characters are associated with :)!
