A Very Special
Occasion
HPH Hospice We Honor
Veteran (WHV) volunteers
from Citrus County provided
a special pinning to a patient
in the Hospice Care Center of
Citrus County recently. Sandra
White has been an active
member of the American
Legion Auxiliary at Unit 155 in Crystal River for 33 years and
her husband served in the Air Force. The American Legion
is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization
advocating patriotism, honor and continued devotion to
their fellow service members and veterans. Sandra has been
President, Vice President and Secretary multiple times, and
her husband was the Aide to the National Commander and
travelled worldwide.
There were more than 33 family members and friends at
the Hospice Care Center to celebrate the pinning. Pictured
from left are Debi Shields, HPH Volunteer Coordinator; Ed
Brush, WHV volunteer; Sandy Scott, HPH volunteer and Bob
Scott, WHV volunteer. In front is Tyler Rumpf , Mrs. White’s
grandson, and Mrs. White.
