In Memoriam

Mrs. Katharine Anderson

The Ladies Home remembers and honors Mrs. Anderson for more than 40 years of service and dedication to the Ladies Home and its residents, first serving as the administrator of the Ladies Home from the 1960s until her retirement in the 1980s, then serving as a board member and later as the board president. She is deeply missed by all of us.

Mr. John Fecondo

The Ladies Home remembers and honors John Fecondo, who passed away suddenly on April 14, 2012. John served as he Executive Director of the Ladies Home from 2009 through 2011, a period of critical change for the Ladies Home.  During his tenure as Executive Director, John successfully led the Ladies Home through through a period of extraordinary financial challenges and cultural changes, ultimately saving the Ladies Home by preventing its closure.  John's hard work and dedication not only reversed more than a decade of recurrent losses, but created a financial surplus.  After stepping down as Executive Director, John served on the Board of the Ladies Home from 2011 until his death. John is greatly missed by everyone.
