Artist paints ornaments for staff at Hospice after doing many for annual fundraiser

Albion, NY—After painting and donating 45 Christmas ornaments for Hospice of Orleans’ annual Light a Life fundraiser, local artist Carol Culhane wanted to do something for the staff at Hospice. Early in her career, Culhane worked in the nursing field and continues to have a lot of compassion for those who are ailing and their caregivers, especially at Hospice. This year Culhane decided to paint enough ornaments for the entire staff at Hospice, and she delivered them on Wednesday. “I’m hopeful this will encourage people to consider a donation to Hospice, perhaps when a loved one dies, instead of sending flowers, send a donation to Hospice or purchase an ornament in their loved one’s name,” Culhane said. “This is a nice way to remember a loved one and help a worthy organization.” [Administrative Assistant Bonnie] Reigle said Hospice is very grateful for what Culhane does for them.
