Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare Pathways of Hope Grief Counseling Center invites the community to remember and honor loved ones at a Fall Memorial event at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23, at the Wayne Center for the Arts, 237 S. Walnut St., Wooster.

The event is a time of remembrance for community members, friends and family members who have lost a loved one during the past year. David Hargrave, LSW, CCTP, CGCS, bereavement counseling professional with Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare, will lead the event.

The name of each deceased loved one will be read aloud. Participants are invited to send in two pictures of their loved one. The pictures will be included in a video tribute. The last day to submit pictures is Monday, Oct. 10.

Attendees will be required to wear face masks and follow social distancing guidelines. While the Fall Memorial is free and open to the entire community, registration is required. There are three ways to register:

  • Register online at: www.OhiosHospiceLifeCare.org/FallMemorial2022

  • Email PathwaysofHope@LifeCareHospice.org with the number of attendees in your family, whether you would like your loved one’s name to be read aloud, two photographs of your loved one for the video tribute if desired, and whether you plan to bring a picture to the Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare office in Wooster to be scanned instead of emailing it.

  • Call Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare at 330.264.4899.

Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare raises funds for patient care and services

Beautiful weather greeted nearly 90 players and sponsors. The day included golf, lunch, dinner, drinks and games of chance to support Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare’s mission.

“We are grateful for the overwhelming support of our inaugural Golf Classic,” said Katherine Ritchie, development director at Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare. “As we celebrate 40 years of serving the community, events like these allow us to continue to serve our neighbors and community when they need our care.”

The winning teams were Park National Bank, Roberts Funeral Home,and Ohio Outdoor.

Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare continues to be grateful for its long-standing partnership with Friendtique. A recent $25,000 donation from Friendtique, a longtime boutique resale shop in downtown Wooster, will help support Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare’s Community Care Fund.

“When I think of time, talent and treasure, Friendtique defines this for Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare,” said Katherine Ritchie, development director for Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare. “Our community continues to donate, shop and volunteer, all to benefit the Community Care Fund and our mission of a not-for-profit hospice in our community.”

Friendtique’s sister store, NEST, is a curated selection of some of the higher-end vintage home finds donated to Friendtique. Located at 132 N. Walnut St., NEST features endless shopping opportunities.

“We are grateful for Friendtique’s continued support of our mission, which allows us to serve patients, regardless of their ability to pay,” Ritchie said. “This generous gift directly supports patients and families in their time of need. By shopping or donating to Friendtique, you are supporting our mission.”
