The Twig has purchased two wheel chairs and a recliner in her memory with these funds.

WELLSVILLE, NY – When Marty Tezak of Wellsville died unexpectedly last year, her family asked that memorials be made to the Jones Memorial Hospital Hemlock Twig. Marty was a long-time member of the Hemlock Twig and its treasurer for many, many years.

“The Hemlock Twig appreciates that so many gifts were made in memory of Marty,” said President Caren Gibson. “I believe that this is the first time a family has asked for memorials to a particular Twig and we are grateful to Marty’s family for understanding how important the Twig was to her.” So far, the memorial funds have been used to purchase a recliner and two wheelchairs – all items for patient care.

Marty is survived by Ed Tezak, her husband of 52 years; her daughter and son-in-law, Chris and Chuck Quinley, her son and daughter-in-law, Scott and Anne Tezak; and her grandson, Michael.
