Each year, United Methodist Retirement Center (Jason Lee Manor and Willson House) residents, staff and friends participate in a candlelight ceremony to honor special people in their lives and remember loved ones who have passed away. We call this the Tree of Life Celebration.
This event was originally started in recognition of a most beloved Activities Director, Cleo Atkinson. For 15 years we have honored her spirit and love for the residents of Willson House.
This year, as in other years, we are asking YOU for a $25 donation in exchange for a candle lit in memory of or in honor of a special soul who has touched your life. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward the Willson House David Karr Benevolent Care Fund. This fund, established in 1998, was created to assist low income residents who need a little extra financial help to pay for the increased costs of their care. Willson House and UMRC are committed to the belief that aging with dignity should not be a matter of money. Please mark your calendar and plan to join us to pay tribute to the people in your life who you’d like to remember.
To become a sponsor for the event click here, or call Wendy at 503.585.6511, or donate $25.00 to honor a special person in your life. Thank you to our current sponsors: City View Funeral Home, Catholic Community Services, Grove, Meuller, and Swank, Arlen Hollinshead, Willamette Valley Hospice, and Cathy Parkinson.
