A founding member of Kamloops Hospice is retiring after 39 years.

Jenny Quince has taken pride in caring for people during their end-of-life experiences.

“It’s been quite the journey for me and I think I’ve learned a lot more compassion working here, patience. I’ve feel that over the years I have become a kinder person,” says Quince.

In addition to deeply missing her colleagues, she says she will miss interacting with patients and their families.

“Kamloops is one of the most generous communities I think you could live in. It’s grown over the years, but we’re still like a little town,” she expresses. “This city is the best.”

KAMLOOPS — This week is National Hospice Palliative Care Week, and the Kamloops Hospice Association is working out a way to hold an annual fundraiser virtually.

The Hospice Association was planning to host its annual Evening to Remember fundraiser at the Coast Hotel this Saturday (May 9).

It’s the single largest fundraiser for the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home and was set to raise $170,000.  While people are no longer able to buy tickets for large gatherings, the Hospice Association is hoping people will donate instead.
