A Special Message

A Special Message

to share with all.

With great sadness we learned that our very long-time volunteer Marianne Cunningham passed away on Wednesday afternoon, February 19th. She was a beacon of sunshine and brought joy to everyone she engaged.

Our programs equally meant as much to her, as the Foundation programs were a special enjoyment after retirement. I have known her for 47 years and recognize how she respected everyone along with being a profound advocate for the mission of the Foundation.

Everyone will certainly miss her kindness and all she provided for every participant. More information about her services will be shared with us in the days ahead. Please keep her family in your hearts. – Jerry Devis
