Schaffer Family Funeral Home First Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway.

Today we were blessed to host our very first Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway, and our hearts are truly full.

Serving our community is at the center of everything we do, and being able to give back, especially during the holiday season, means so much to us. Seeing the smiles, the conversations, and the sense of togetherness reminded us why we love this community so deeply.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, supported, or shared a kind word. This is just the beginning, and we look forward to making this an annual tradition.

From our family to yours, we wish you a warm, safe, and Happy Thanksgiving.

🌸 Survivor Spotlight 🌸

Today, on the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we honor Mary Allbritton, a breast cancer survivor whose journey reflects courage, resilience, and hope. 💗

I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in November 2024. I watched my daughter fight the disease and I was determined to fight it as well. I underwent aa lumpectomy and 5 radiation treatments in May of 2025 and I'm now cancer-free. I would like to encourage every woman to do self-breast examinations and if it doesn't feel right go to the doctor.

Today, we honor NaQuellar Thompson, a breast cancer survivor whose journey reflects courage, resilience, and hope. 💗

I was diagnosed at 37 years old with Stage III breast cancer. I faced one of the hardest battles of my life. What was supposed to be a joyful time for my family, because we'd just welcomed our youngest son into the world, now 5 months later, we were facing the unknown. After a full year of chemotherapy and 5 weeks of radiation, we were finally free of cancer and the treatments that it entailed.

If you're facing a cancer diagnosis, my advice to you is to activate your faith and depend on those around you for strength.

Today, we honor Ms. Diatrise Self, a breast cancer survivor whose journey reflects courage, resilience, and hope. 💗

Mrs. Diatrise Self, a gift from God, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000. During her diagnosis and treatment, her faith never waivered. Mrs. Self isn't just a survivor, but a wife, mother, grandma and bonus mom to many. The embracing love she gives is felt throughout her community by showing compassion, grace, strength and resilience. She donates her time and hot meals to warm our souls and our bodies. Called Mrs. Dee by some, but she's the glue that holds her family together. Mrs. Self encourages anyone to believe that God has all power in His hand and to never lose faith.💖

38 years Breast Cancer Survivor

From the date of my diagnosis in 1987, through medical treatments and yearly follow-up visits, God took care of me and my family through the journey and continues to provide and supply everything I (we) need even now. My faith and trust in Jesus give me hope each day as my life continues!!!
