McGehee Isaacs Passes Suddenly
McGehee Isaacs
 
Charles McGehee Isaacs, who went by "McGehee", passed away on Saturday, September 23, 2017, while doing one of his very favorite things in the world – watching college football. Our hearts and prayers go out to Betty and their family.
 
We had the pleasure of McGehee and Betty Isaacs as part of our Rotarian family from August 2013 through the end of 2014 when they returned to Columbus, Ohio in a career move. Janet and Tom Kolepp, with whom they became very close, will have more information at the Thursday meeting.
 
 A link to McGehee’s Obituary follows:
 
 
A viewing followed by a memorial service is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Friday, September 29th at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, Dublin, Ohio, and he will be interred after a burial service in the Memorial Garden of the Cathedral Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on Friday, October 6th at 2 p.m. followed by a reception celebrating his life.
 
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to the Episcopal Relief and Development Fund (http://www.episcopalrelief.org/what-you-can-do/other-giving-opportunities/honor-and-memorial-gifts or Episcopal Relief & Development, P.O. Box 7058, Merrifield, VA 22116-7058). Online condolences can be made at www.rutherfordfuneralhomes.com.

No One Dies Alone
 
No one is born alone, and it’s our hope that no one dies alone. If your loved one is at one of our sites and nearing the end of life, he or she will not be alone. If you cannot be there because you live out of the area or are unable to physically get to the hospital for some reason, you can be comforted knowing our No One Dies Alone volunteers will be there.
We realize there may be times when you are unable to be at the hospital with your loved one, or you and your family members might need respite and time for yourselves. We will do our best to honor requests to sit with your loved one until you can return to the hospital.
Under the direction of Father Timothy Hasenecz, volunteers are specially educated in the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of dying.
