In lieu of flowers

Please consider a contribution to American Diabetes Association or Alzheimer's Association.

Background

Advanced diabetes severely affected Helen's kidneys, and she ultimately spent 17 years on dialysis. Ongoing research may help reduce the effect of long-term diabetes and help others avoid years of exhausting dialysis treatments.

Additionally, Helen was grieved by the impact that Alzheimer's had on her sister and brother-in-law.

If either of these causes resonate with you, you are encouraged to support their ongoing efforts in her honor.

Alternatively, gift cards can be purchased from Watson’s Greenhouse and Nursery in Puyallup, WA. Dovie and Todd will use all funds received to fill their home with plants in enduring memories of Helen.

And we've led advocacy efforts to achieve a $300 million increase in federal Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding.
