After an amazing life of 101 years, Ann Lee Saunders Brown passed away in February, 2020. She was the daughter of Edmund Archer and Jane Quinn Saunders; and the sister of Jane Q. Saunders. The Saunders family has supported The Virginia Home for generations, including the endowment of resident rooms earlier in our history.
A plaque memorializing Ann Lee’s father hangs in our hallway to this day. For many years Ann Lee quietly supported The Home, right up to the time of her passing. We received notice that she had also included The Home in her estate plan. In February, 2021 her gift of $1,000,000.00 arrived to be added to our endowment fund. What a wonderful way to continue the relationship in a perpetual way. We are so fortunate to have earned her love and support and only wish we could have thanked her more for these blessings during her lifetime.
