BankGloucester Remembers Co-worker While Helping Other Hospice Patients

Posted on November 23, 2018 by Anne Williams
This past April, Pat’s executive assistant, Avis Beaulieu, died at Care Dimensions' Kaplan Family Hospice House. She was 55 years old and had developed many friendships with co-workers during her six and a half years with the bank.

“Our team misses Avis dearly,” said Pat. “She was an inspiration to us all – personally and professionally.”

In her memory, bank staff formed a Care Dimensions Walk for Hospice team and raised $4,500 to support local hospice patients and their families. Now the Tree of Lights tradition that was intended to help grieving members of the community takes on a new meaning for them as they remember Avis.

“We’ve seen how Care Dimensions’ skilled hospice clinicians help patients and families get through a very difficult time,” said Pat, who enjoys seeing people return to the Tree of Lights ceremony each year. “We want people to celebrate and remember the good times they had with their loved ones, especially at the holidays.”

Make a gift to help Care Dimensions continue to provide compassionate hospice, palliative care, and grief support services to all who need them.
