Remembering Nancy Scatcherd

Today's post is a guest post by Shirley Soehn, Board Treasurer, Shepherds of Good Hope Foundation. Shirley also volunteers weekly in the soup kitchen.

Nancy Scatcherd volunteering in the kitchen

 

Nancy Scatcherd was a volunteer at Shepherds of Good Hope for over 20 years. She came to Shepherds twice a week to work in the kitchen. Her main task was to make salads for serving approximately 400 clients lunch. She did this with a smile and with as much care as possible.

 

Nancy was similar to many of the volunteers at Shepherds. She was someone who wanted to do something useful for others. She cared deeply for the people who were homeless that needed our help and she enjoyed the camaraderie she had with the other volunteers at Shepherds.

 

One of Nancy’s distinguishing features was the black rim hat she wore when she volunteered. It gave people the impression that she was someone who was pleasant and approachable, and that she was. She would always make a point of greeting everyone in the kitchen with a big hello and a smile. Nancy was often in charge of assigning tasks for serving during the lunch hour and in doing so she would make sure individuals were assigned tasks on the basis of their own needs and wants. She would also make a point of thanking all the volunteers for their help once the lunch hour was complete.

 

Nancy was a joy to work with and she will truly be missed by all her friends at Shepherds. May she rest in peace.
