Virginia McMahon
Virginia began volunteering in March 2014. For the past seven years, Virginia spent most of the day on Mondays at Hospice. She prepared the supplies that the teams would bring out to the patients and families weekly. Specifically, she prepared Chuxs, which are a disposable bed pad, and counted seven to a bag for each family. Virginia prepared hundreds of these bags weekly. Her nephew joked with her that she graduated from Chuxter University and gave her a shirt to commemorate her important role at Hospice.
Michele Devlin, Hospice’s Volunteer Program Manager stated “Virginia is one of the hardest working, most dedicated people I have had the pleasure of knowing. She is the CEO of the Supply Room. The only item Virginia needed to complete her work was a pot of coffee. Her presence lightened every Monday. During the early stages of the pandemic, when our offices were closed to volunteers, Virginia would call weekly and demand her job back. When we could once again allow volunteers in the office, she was the first one to say what are the new rules and I will be there. Virginia is one in a million and Hospice is so very lucky to have her help through the years.”
Virginia recently turned 91 and stated it was time to retire, again. Thank you, Virginia, for your many years of service. Mondays at Hospice will never be the same again.
