Eaton celebrates 15

Snow named

Volunteer of the Year

Hospice Circle of Love longtime volunteer Naoma Snow was named the Volunteer of the Year by Oklahoma Hospice and Palliative Care Assoc-iation at the group’s annual meeting Oct. 20 in Tulsa. She was presented with a plaque during a luncheon.

Snow was the volunteer for Hospice Circle of Love’s first patient in 1983. She was among those who responded to an advertisement about a volunteer class taking place in the basement of University Place Christian Church.

Over the 26 years as a volunteer Snow has tended flower beds, mowed lawns and simply been a friend.

According to volunteer coordinator Julie Nelson, Snow is “always ready with a smile, some conversation and whatever TLC is needed while she is there for her visit. Naoma always goes above and beyond for the patients she sees.”

Snow has had some of her own family members receive care from Hospice Circle of Love. Being on the receiving end of the care gives her an insight into the families she has been assigned to.

“Since I have been on the other side, I know the help is sincere, welcome and needed,” she said.

She plans to mix her own formulas using herbs from Thailand. She also participated in a seminar workshop that was a refresher course on deep tissue work that grows from the unique Thai concepts of physiology and body mechanics.
