to benefit Columbia Montour Home Hospice at Maria Hall. Pictured, from left, are Kathy Kelleher, director of social work;

In honor of Credit’s many years of community service, the foundation was formed in her name to benefit hospice patients
who wish to spend their final weeks or months at Maria Hall, but do not have the financial means to do so.
Fundraising events include a breakfast on Oct. 27, from 7-11 a.m. at the Meadows, as well as hoagie sales,
a soup sale and a butterfly release. Originally published in the Press Enterprise Oct.12, 2007.
