St. Mary’s Health is deeply honored to express our sincere appreciation to the family of Theresa Funke for their extraordinary generosity. Thanks to their thoughtful donation, our beloved chapel has undergone a much-needed update.
The Funke family shared, “Our mother, Theresa Funke, enjoyed going to mass at the chapel and was so grateful to have it nearby. We want to say thank you for the services provided to her and the other (condo) residents.”
The chapel has long been a cornerstone within our community. With the Funke family’s kindness and the hard work of our dedicated SMH staff, this sacred space now reflects renewed warmth and beauty. It continues to offer a peaceful sanctuary and a safe place to worship for all.
A special thank you to Rich Carigan and Loran Arnzen from St. Mary’s Facilities, who spent countless hours over the past few months building, sanding, and staining new pews for the chapel. We also extend our gratitude to Christina Taylor and Jessica Meyers, whose efforts gave the floors a much-needed refresh, bringing new life to the space.
Theresa Funke’s legacy of compassion and generosity endures through this remarkable gift, touching countless lives and embodying the spirit of hope and faith that lies at the heart of our mission.
On behalf of the entire St. Mary’s Health community, we extend our deepest appreciation to the Funke family, Rich Carigan, Loran Arnzen, Jeremy Willis, Jessica Meyers, and Christina Taylor for their meaningful contributions. Your support strengthens the care and comfort we provide to all who walk through our doors.
Thank you for making a lasting difference in our community.
