Bequests

Mrs. Martha Ware grew up in Mt. Solon, Virginia. While she and her husband raised their children, she served our community as a third-grade teacher. Each year, she makes a gift to Augusta Health, to remember her mother, who received care from Hospice of the Shenandoah. Mrs. Ware has also arranged to leave a bequest to Augusta Health’s Hospice of the Shenandoah Program.

"I am so thankful for the care Hospice of the Shenandoah gave my Mom. When no one from the family could leave to get her medicine, Hospice of the Shenandoah brought it all the way out to Mount Solon for her. They did all they could to keep her comfortable, and that brought our family so much relief. They even gave her this teddy bear, that I still have today. My gift each year, and the gift I have left to Hospice in my estate plans, feels like a way I can pay that care forward. Thank you for the opportunity."
