  • 9THOUGHTS & REMEMBRANCES

    Bill Smollen November 14, 1918 - January 17, 2014

    On January 17th we lost a loyal supporter of the Providence Saint Joseph Foundation our friend, Bill Smollen.

    His passing came only 30 days after losing his beloved wife of 63 years, Helen.

    Bill joined the Providence Saint Joseph Foundation in 1992 and was an active member in every sense until the end. He was fully engaged by not only his participation on the Board of Governors, but by also serving in past years as

    Chair of the Foundations Financial Operations Committee. Bills knowledge of finance continued to benefit the Financial Operations Committee as he remained an

    active committee member until shortly before his passing.

    When asked to share some personal thoughts about why he wanted to join the Foundation Board on his application back in 1992 Bill stated I feel it is an

    obligation of all of us to whom God has been good to give back something in time and energy. In a sense, it is selfish since there is a pleasant feeling of doing

    something very worthwhile. That statement typifies who Bill was; a humble man of great integrity who truly gave of his time, talent, and treasure.

    Both Bill and Helen Smollen were great friends of the Foundation. They were an inspiration to us all and their legacy will forever be felt throughout

    the halls of Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

    Emilie Tavernier was born in Montreal February 19, 1800 when the Industrial Revolution was at its height. The times brought booms in commercial development and vast riches to some. It was also rife with political unrest, mass immigration, cholera outbreaks, worker exploitation, unemployment and desperate poverty.

    Emilie grew up in a family accustomed to serving the needs of the poor. This tradition endured when she married a successful Montreal businessman, Jean-Baptiste Gamelin, who shared her beliefs in the impor-tance of charity, devotion to the poor, and commitment to religion. Happiness for Emilie was short-lived. Her first two children died within months of their birth. Only a year later, the death of her husband and her third and last child, were devastating blows. Her grief was intense and only in the practice of charity could she find solace. Instead of withdrawing into herself, she reached out and began a life dedicated to helping others.

    In 1843, Emilie Gamelin and Ignace Bourget, Bishop of Montreal, established a religious order of women. Under her leadership, their works of charity expanded rapidly. Because of their profound trust that the Providence of God would supply the needs of those they served, the Sisters became known as Sisters of Providence.

    Many of the good works carried on by the sisters today have their beginnings in the heart of Emilie Gamelin, as does Providence Health & Services. Blessed Emilie Gamelin gave her life caring for victims of cholera in 1851. Her last words guide all who con-tinue her work today, humility, simplicity, charity...

    While Mother Gamelin was gifted in her ability to bring people together to serve others, perhaps her greatest gift and most inspiring legacy to us was her ability to connect with people one-on-one. Whether it was a visit to the home of an elderly woman sick with cholera, taking food to a family with none, or visiting a prisoner on behalf of his family, the caring commitment of Emilie Gamelin has served as a model for more than 150 years. Her generosity, her contributions of both time and treasure, her selflessness, her compassion all are remembered today by those who walk in her footsteps.

    EMILIE GAMELIN

    Mother of the Poor, Angel of the Prisons, Providence for the Unfortunate.Such were the names given to Blessed Emilie Gamelin, foundress of the Sisters of Providence.

    We are pleased to recognize our highest level of donors as members

    of the Mother Gamelin Society. Our deep gratitude goes to those who

    strive to walk in her footsteps and carry forward the work of her heart.

    Blessed Emilie Gamelins final words, Humility, simplicity, charity... were

    a compassionate charge for those who follow. Mother Gamelin Society

    members have truly kept faith with that charge. Thank you!PRESIDENTFritz B. Burns FoundationRoy E. and Patricia A. Disney FamilyJack C. and Doris C. HelmsProvidence Saint Joseph Medical Center GuildJulian and Gladys Saunders

    Families benefit. You benefit. We all benefit.BEQUESTS.Leave a lasting legacy by remembering our Foundation in your will.

    CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS.These planned giving vehicles help you reduce capital gains taxes on appreciated property, increase your cash flow and reduce your income tax payments.

    The tax-exempt trusts make payments to one or more individuals at a stated rate or amount for life or a term of years. Assets placed in trust will generate an income tax charitable deduction (based on IRS guidelines), can be reinvested tax free, and often offer estate tax benefits, since the trust assets pass to our Foundation when the trust terminates. Donors may appoint or serve as their own trustee.

    CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES.Annuities often increase your retirement cash flow and reduce your taxes. A gift annuity is a simple agreement between the Foundation and one or two donors. In exchange for a gift to our Foundation of $10,000 or more, the Foundation makes lifetime annuity payments to you, based on the age of the annuitants.

    CHARITABLE BEQUEST OF RETIREMENT PLANS AND LIFE INSURANCE.This allows you to name the Foundation as a beneficiary, or partial beneficiary, of your life insur-ance policy, 401(k), IRA or other retirement plan. There are various estate tax benefits.

    PLANNED GIFTS BENEFITS.You can make a difference in the health care of your community through planned giving.

    BENEFITS INCLUDE: Simplify and reduce estate settlement costs Avoid or reduce capital gains taxes on contributions of appreciated long-term property with respect to certain types of planned gifts Obtain a charitable tax deduction Reduce federal estate taxes Retain income rights for your lifetime or a loved ones lifetime Possibly increase disposable income Be our guest at the Circle of Care Annual Recognition Event Be our guest at a variety of Providence Health & Services special events With your permission, have your name included in various publications as part of this invaluable group of donors
