Ann Galvin was a quiet force. She cared deeply about women, children, and those who were alone.
When she approached Tina after a speaking engagement in 1999 and softly said, “I want to donate to your scholarship fund,” we never could have dreamed that she meant every month for the next 25 years. And yet, that’s exactly what she did.
Because of our dear friend Ann, hundreds of families were able to receive services, education, and community at Joy’s House. Some of them knew her well – sharing meals, stories, and letters. Others never even knew her name.
We will never forget her. Thanks to Ann, we’ve never turned away a family for our adult day services. Thanks to Ann, we are the Joy’s House that so many people have relied on for this imperative care.
Ann, we miss you. Thank you for being wonderful you and may you rest in peace.
Ann Galvin, April 17, 1935 – March 25, 2024
