Joanne Benjamin, of Riverside, sits with a couch full of bears that she decorates then donates to families that have lost a loved one who was in hospice. She decorates the bears with fabric that relates to the person who passed away.

Stuffed bears decorated, donated for families

By Rick Dandes
The Daily Item

Her favorite bear so far has been a camouflaged bear.

Her next project involves a bear and a San Francisco 49ers pro football T-shirt. "A little girl and her grandfather would watch all the 49ers games they could together on TV. When he died, the family gave me some of his 49ers paraphernalia to put on a bear. It will go to his granddaughter and I'm sure it will be something she'll always treasure."

Geisinger Hospice is always looking for volunteers. Call 271-5598 for more information and to set up an appointment with the volunteer coordinator.
