WRC lost an irreplaceable friend and advocate when Jenny Webb passed away from cancer on July 28, 2017. A licensed mental health counselor, Jenny volunteered in nearly every available role for more than 30 years at WRC - from Helpline volunteer to volunteer counselor to board president. Her dedication to helping women improve their lives generated lasting results for those she encountered and shaped the organization that WRC is today.

The outpouring of gifts made in Jenny’s memory is just one example of the lives she touched. Her spirit remains evident in our Helpline volunteers who provide reassurance and resources, through our staff who guide with careful skill, and among our board as they lead WRC into the future. Should we forget Jenny’s legacy for a moment, the goldfinches that gather by our front porch each summer remind us that Jenny’s greatest joy was making the people around her happy, and Jenny Webb volunteered at the WRC for more than 30 years. She will be sadly missed. inspire us to follow her lead!

WRC wishes to recognize the following donors who gave a contribution in Jenny’s memory last year:

Sarah Adler Carl Fridy Chip and Nancy Roach Lynn Axelroth and Charles Sarah Gifford Gregory Rogers Handsaker Richard and Rita Goldberg Ronald Rothrock Hugh and Jean Bailey Kirsten Halker-Kratz Kinnie and Marshall Schmidt Marion Ballard Ann Hausmann Peter and Cary Sears Timothy Barnard Peter Hausmann Robert Stetson The Brevoort Fund The Hotchkiss School Dev Thielens Bill and Laura Buck Mary Hundt Nancy Walker Mary Burr Kathleen M.
