Newlyweds Thank Donors
for Granting Mother’s Wish
Hospice Care offered Donnell House’s Great
Room, allowing the couple a more traditional
wedding. All the typical arrangements were
made on short notice – dress, veil, hair, nails,
bridesmaids, bouquet, and minister.
Hospice Care staff was just as excited as
the family was and helped Deby get ready
with her hair, nails, and make up. When it
was time, they wheeled her hospital bed into
the Great Room. Matt said that she looked
great.
“My mom wouldn’t have missed
the wedding. It was the only
thing that brightened her up,”
Matt explained. “Without Donnell
House, we would not have had
that opportunity.”
Matt and Hilary Veltri after their wedding at Donnell House.
After twelve frantic hours preparing for their
wedding, Matt Veltri and Hilary Patterson
Veltri were married March 1 at Washington
Health System Hospice Care’s Donnell
House, giving Matt’s mother Deby a special
gift – seeing her last child married.
Deby was moved to Donnell House after
she had been diagnosed with terminal
cancer and given a month to live. While the
medication she took for her severe pain also
caused her to sleep for days, Deby was up
and about that March morning. So Matt and
Hilary made the decision to get married that
day.
Matt and Hilary first thought that they would
have a small ceremony in Deby’s room. Then
Matt said that his mother “knew how to do
life.” Deby was a “California girl” (from the
state) when she met her husband Michael
and moved to Washington. She worked
as a seamstress at Veltri Cleaners for 20
years, enjoyed spending time with her family,
especially her grandchildren, and loved the
outdoors. Matt described his mother as a bit
of everything, accepting everyone, nurturing,
stern, and fun. She loved to joke. When
Hilary was running late at the wedding, Deby
told her family, “She better hurry up. Doesn’t
she know I don’t have much time left?”
Hilary shared that she lived 24 hours a day
at Donnell House, eating and sleeping there
during her mother-in-law’s stay. Hospice
Care staff did whatever they could to
accommodate Deby and her family, and

someone’s hand is the beginning of a

another to take yours.” – Vera Nazarian

staff and volunteers support them, provide
compassionate care, and enable patients to
both live their last days and die with dignity.
You may not realize it, but patients and families
can only experience that support and care
because friends like you give generously to
Hospice Care and Donnell House. When you
make a gift, you reach out and take the hand
of a hurting patient or family member. Even if
you don’t know them, you are helping them on
their journey.
Many of us know someone personally who
has received Hospice Care, sometimes family
members or friends. Someone likely took
your hand, gave you a shoulder to lean on, or
walked with you when you needed support.
Often, our thoughts turn to how we can give
back what we received, and many families and
friends commit to donate to Hospice Care and
Donnell House.
Hospice Care patients and families thank you
for supporting them on their journey.

some of the smallest things were the most
thoughtful and meant the most. Hilary said
that the nurses would paint Deby’s nails,
something small that made her feel good.
Spending so much time together at Donnell
House, Hilary and the family built great
relationships with the staff. Many off-shift
workers even came in to see the wedding,
the first one ever in Donnell House.
Two weeks after she saw Matt and Hilary
married, Deby passed away in Donnell
House. The story of Matt and Hilary’s
incredible gesture of love for his mother
received local, regional, and national news
coverage.
Reflecting back on their wedding and their
experience with hospice, Matt and Hilary
offered these words to the donors who give
to Hospice Care and Donnell House.
“Thank you for supporting Donnell House
and making our wedding happen, and keep it
up,” Matt urged. “Having someone at Donnell
House redefined my understanding of ‘health
care,’ and the people at Donnell House
definitely care. They are phenomenal people,
and they have to be hard to find.”
Hilary added, “There is so much value in
letting people die with dignity. If you’ve seen
or experienced hospice, you understand that.
Before this, I never would have thought of
Hospice Care as a cause I would support.
Now I can never underestimate its value.”
Blankets
for Patients
In February 2013, Meghan Wuycheck, social
work major from California University of
Pennsylvania, and members of the campus
social work association made blankets for
Donnell House patients. Meghan wrote about
her decision to give these gifts in appreciation
for the care her granmother received at
Donnell House:
“For the first fifteen years of my life, I was
blessed with the opportunity to love and be
loved by my ‘Nana’, Carol Kniess. The majority
of my childhood memories consist of watching
butterflies swarm the bushes in her front yard,
California University social work students display a finished fleece blanket for Donnell House patients.

Hospice Care: Exactly
the Help We Needed
“We each have only one mother,” Ellan Toothman
wrote in a thank you letter for the care her
mother, Katherine Toothman of Waynesburg,
received while a patient of Washington Health
System Hospice Care. Katherine was the wife
of the late Judge Glenn J.R.T. Toothman, Jr.,
past president judge of Greene County, and
mother of four. She loved sewing and knitting
and taught home economics at Central Greene
School District for over 25 years. After retiring,
Katherine opened a retail fabric and sewing
store in Morgantown. She was a Hospice Care
patient off and on for three years until she
passed away in 2012 at age 92 in her own
home. In her letter, Ellan shared her thoughts
about her experience of Hospice Care.

her living room, and getting to pick a Beanie
Baby out of her cherished collection every
time I visited. As elementary school turned
into middle school, my Nana remained one
of the only constants in my life. She listened
to my problems, and to this day, her phone
number is one of the only ones I have
memorized by heart.
When I reached high school, I began to
notice subtle changes in my Nana. She
started using a walker and had a chair lift
installed on her staircase. It did not occur

to me how sick she really was, though, until
she put her house up for sale to move into
an assisted living facility. My Nana was
suffering from a form of Parkinson’s disease
which progressed very quickly. After a
short stay in her assisted living facility, her
condition required more attention than the
staff was able to provide. She was eventually
separated from her husband and sent to a
nursing home.
As much as I loved my Nana, visiting her
in the nursing home always warranted
a lot of persuasion. The facility seemed
dark, the shared rooms were cramped, and
there was an ever present smell of chicken
soup. Needless to say, it was a less than
welcoming atmosphere. However, I knew
that my days with my Nana were likely
numbered, so I visited her as much as I could.
Over time, I watched her body tire. She was
eventually limited to spending all day in bed
when her mind started slipping. During our
visits, she would go into detail of her long
afternoon spent walking outside, and the
nice little red panda who would occasionally

feeling. My only impression of hospice was
that it was the last step. However, on my
first visit, my expectations were immediately
shattered. I had assumed that Donnell House
would be just as depressing as her nursing
home. I was shocked when my family and I
pulled up to an absolutely beautiful, clean, and
somewhat secluded facility. I felt welcomed
as soon as I walked through the door. I was
not scared or sad, rather pleasantly surprised
that my grandmother was being so attentively
taken care of. She was the only person in
her spacious room, and she was watching
her favorite television show. She seemed
more alert than she had in months, and I felt
for a second like I was back in her home.
My Nana eventually became well enough to
leave Donnell House. I still credit the staff
for bringing her comfort, providing her with
a newfound quality of living, and for quite
possibly extending her life.

comforting to know that she was experiencing
more than her depressing surroundings.
When I learned that she was being
transferred to Donnell House, I had an uneasy
My Nana passed away in 2008 as a result of
her illness, several months following her stay
in hospice. I continued on to college, where
she was never far from my mind, even five
years after her passing. In my sophomore
year, I was honored with the title of President
of the Bachelor of Social Work Association.
This title brought the opportunity to make
a difference in the lives of others. My first
thought was how much of a difference
Donnell House made in the lives of not only
my grandmother, but my entire family. It
became my goal to give back to them.
My fellow officers and I organized a day to
assemble simple cut and tie fleece blankets
to distribute to the patients of Donnell House
with the hopes of mirroring the comfort and
warmth offered by their staff. We purchased
fleece with colorful patterns, and I made
sure to incorporate a butterfly fabric which
reminded me of the countless hours spent
watching butterflies with my Nana. Roughly
twenty girls came to the first BSWA meeting
enthusiastic to begin the project. Five
blankets were made in total and graciously
received by Donnell House.
It still amazes me that during
what could have been one of the
saddest times in my fifteen year
old life, I was presented instead
with hope - the hope that my
Nana’s condition could improve
and also the hope that good
people still exist. I will forever
admire the work of Donnell
House, and I can only hope as an
aspiring social worker to make
such a positive impact.

Snowflake Tree
During the holiday season, Hospice Care will continue
its tradition of displaying a Memorial Snowflake Tree
in Donnell House’s lobby. A reception will be held
December 4 at Donnell House for families to decorate
and personalize snowflake ornaments with their loved
ones’ names.
Volunteer at the Fall Phonathon
Hospice Care needs your help this autumn.
Every year, we hold our biggest fundraiser,
our Fall Phonathon, to ask over 6,000 past
donors and family members to support
current and future hospice patients. We
can’t talk with these friends of Hospice Care
without volunteers, people just like you.
Each night, we need 20 volunteers to call
our donors, share why they give personally,
and explain how we need their continued
support. We’ll provide dinner, and then our
Foundation staff will explain everything
first time volunteers need to know to make
effective phone calls.
Every renewing donor makes a difference
in the lives of hospice patients and their
families, so every call and every caller make
a difference, too. 20 callers each night help
us reach as many of our 6,000 past donors
as possible.
If you are able to help, please add these
dates to your calendar. Calling will be from
6:00-8:30 each evening, with dinner at 5:30.
Tuesday, October 1
For further information or to sign up
as a volunteer, please contact the
Foundation office at (724) 223-3875.

“Pink-Out” 2013 for Donnell House

Garden of inscribed bricks to give family and
friends a way to recognize their loved ones
for years to come. With your gift of $100 or

New commemorative bricks, for gifts made

Bricks reserved after July 1 will be installed in

philanthropic organizations that were close to
our own hearts. On behalf of the coaching
staff, the team, and the boosters, we would
like to make this donation to Donnell House.
We appreciate all the love and care that you
give to the patients in their final hours. We
know that, with our donation, you will do
great things. Again, thank you for all that
you do.”
