Time of Remembrance Honors Members

South Carolina Nurse, The, Jan-Mar 2009

The annual Time of Remembrance was held at the SCNA Annual Meeting in October 2008. This is a special time set aside at each annual meeting to honor those who have died in the previous year. SCNA also presented these names for inclusion in the ANA Book of Remembrance in June.

Those honored at this time were past members:

Myrtle Irene Brown, Columbia

Virginia Coker Phillips, Florence

Carolyn Mills Rice Hartvigsen, Columbia

Betty Bramlett Gardner, Barnwell

Ella Garrison

Vera R. Bonnette, Orangeburg

This ceremony was adapted from the one created by the Kansas State Nurses Association. A printed copy of the ceremony can be obtained by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to SCNA. There is no charge for this service. SCNA encourages all RNs and LPNs to add this beautiful and meaningful service to their pre-planning for funerals and memorials. We welcome inquiries from hospitals, nursing homes, hospices and others as well.
