Edythe Edwards of Cape May has been named Cape Regional Medical Center’s “Special Touch Volunteer” for the fourth quarter of 2011.
During her multi-shift assignment throughout the week, Edwards provides diligent service as a busy East Lobby Desk Volunteer. It has been a privilege to include her on the volunteer roster since July, 2008. Since that time, she has contributed more than 2,000 hours of valuable volunteer service.
“I am extremely honored and overwhelmed,” stated Edwards. “I love volunteering. It is a source of fulfillment for me. I get as much as I give.”
Edwards is saluted by her peers as someone who is very committed and always willing to help as needed. This was evident by her willingness in offering to join a team of her fellow volunteers who provided vital volunteer assistance during Hurricane Irene.
Edwards and her late husband, Eric, were married for 18 years and have two children, Barbara Keyser and Robert Thompson. She is also the proud grandmother of four grandchildren.
She loves living in the Cape May area with its nature and beaches. Prior to her retirement, she was an executive secretary for more than 25 years. In her last position she worked for the Butler Board of Education in Butler. She was also a former volunteer at a North Jersey hospital.
On Tuesday, October 18, Joanne Carrocino, FACHE, President and CEO, Thomas Piratzky, CRFE, Vice President of Public Relations and Marketing, and Julie Paolella, Director of Volunteer Services, joined Edwards’ fellow volunteers in honoring her with the presentation of the Volunteer of the Quarter Award.
With brother, Jack, and sister-in-law, Susan by her side, she was presented with flowers, a Special Touch Volunteer pin, gift certificate and commemorative plaque.
Congratulations, Edythe Edwards, and thank you for your vital volunteer service.
