Cyril & Claudia Garvey Society

The Cyril & Claudia Garvey Society

Providing comfort and compassion beyond your lifetime.

When Cyril and Claudia Garvey lost their 13-year-old son to leukemia, they made the choice to honor Kevin’s life by opening Kevin Guest House. His legacy is vibrant, bringing hope to our guests each day.

The Cyril and Claudia Garvey Society recognizes donors who, like the Garveys, have a vision of caring for their neighbors well beyond their lifetime.
