This week at Abiitan Mill City - An Ecumen Living Space, we gathered as a community to celebrate and remember the lives of ten residents who passed away in 2025, along with others who remain close in our hearts.

Led by our team — Becca Munoz (Assistant Executive Director), Jennine Speier (Pianist), Joel Sund (Manager of Spiritual Care, Ecumen), Cheryl Locke (Executive Director), Brandyn Liebe (Senior Living Consultant), and Tommaso Cammarano (Life Enrichment Manager) — the service carried the message “BitterSweet,” reflecting on “A time to live and a time to die.”

With about 80 people in attendance, it was a meaningful time of remembrance, connection, and love.

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to honor the compassionate professionals who bring comfort and dignity to life’s final chapter.

At Ecumen Hospice, care goes beyond medical support. It’s about creating meaningful moments and lasting memories for patients and their families.

When Gary entered hospice care, his family already knew the compassion of Ecumen well. His granddaughter-in-law, Anna, had recently joined the Ecumen Hospice team, giving her a special perspective, both as a caregiver and as family.

This month, we celebrate stories like Gary’s and the incredible teams who make a difference every day. Read more about Gary's story below.
