Margaret and Larry Small
Memorial gift benefits chapel/meditation room Margaret Small was the portrait of an active retiree. She walked the course when golfing, conquered puzzles from the
newspaper, played bridge with friends, transformed her yard into a “palette of sweeping color” and nurtured her faith as a lifelong Catholic. “She was trying to be as well-rounded in every field for her mind and body and her health,” says Larry Small, her husband of 45 years. Her pancreatic cancer diagnosis in 2018 “was so devastating; it seemed so incredibly unfair,” he remembers. The opportunity to fund the allfaiths chapel in Margaret’s name came with “incredible timing,” Larry says. “I look back on it and couldn’t have even wished for something like this. It’s such a blessing. Like Margaret, the chapel will be loving and welcoming to all people.”
