Tribute Giving
As our neighbors and friends at Mary’s Woods leave this life, it is a comfort to know they will be remembered in some way. By making a gift of any amount in memory of a Mary’s Woods resident, you remember the importance of their life, and you provide solace to those who are left behind. Tribute gifts can be earmarked for the Resident Fund, or any fund of the donor’s choosing. Gifts of any size can be made through online donations or in the donation boxes on campus.
When making a tribute gift, be sure to indicate who you are remembering with your donation. After you give your gift, a beautiful tribute card (pictured below) will be sent to the family of the individual you’ve memorialized, and you will receive a thank you letter for your tax records.
Additional Tribute Opportunities:
Celebration Garden
Located near the front entrance of the Provincial House, the Celebration Garden honors and remembers special people in our lives, and is a place of peaceful retreat, as well as a symbol of the beauty and compassion that abounds in our caring community.
The garden’s centerpiece is a row of three tree panels, commissioned by local artist Brian Rooney. Brian designed the trees to be a slowly evolving sculpture. The Corten steel used for the trees was chosen because as it ages, its appearance becomes enhanced through the weatherization of its patina, but the structure remains untouched──much like we all experience changes in our physical selves over time, but our basic core remains unchanged.

Tribute Benches
You can honor someone special with a dedication of an outdoor bench on the elegant and historic grounds at Mary’s Woods. Your gift of a bench dedication is a lasting tribute to a loved one, and recognizes the important role that nature plays in our vibrant and active campus. Dedications are personalized plaques placed on or alongside a bench located on the Mary’s Woods campus. Prices vary by location, starting at $3,000 for existing benches. Establishing a memorial bench to honor your loved one is a meaningful tribute that will leave a lasting legacy. Full details on the Tribute Bench Flyer here.
