MAKE LIFE BETTER
Merle Schwartz has gone above
and beyond the call of volunteer duty
time and again during her adult life.
Yet nothing has touched the retired
educational consultant more than the
hands-on work she does with the
terminally ill through the Jewish
Hospice and Chaplaincy Network.
"Nobody should have to ever be
alone," she says. "Many of my patients
are lonely and isolated and just want
someone to listen to them."
Merle enjoys most meeting patients
and hearing about their lives. "I have
learned so much from them. I wish
there was more time so I could learn
more."
