KAWARTHA LAKES-When Adele Hopkins passed away on March 27th the Catholic Women’s League decided to do something special to honour her.
Adele was a long service employee at the Ross Memorial, and a dedicated member of the St. Mary’s Catholic Women’s League, her warmth touching everyone she met.
Adele’s friends wanted to share that warmth so they got together and handmade a quilt and named it ‘Remembering Adele’.
On June 13th, Anne McKinnon and Helena Lessard of the Catholic Women’s League visited the RMH Palliative/Complex Care Unit to present the quilt to Ruth Hopkins, Adele’s daughter, Rosemary Wright, Clinical Resources Nurse, and Erin Coons, Executive Director of the RMH Foundation.
The quilt will be given to a patient whose complex care needs requires a long stay at the Hospital. The St. Mary’s Catholic Women’s League is participating in a 100th-anniversary project which will see 100 quilts crafted and contributed to community groups by 2020.
