In lieu of flowers, the Ruane family is requesting contributions to the “Busy Bea” Memorial Fund. Contributions will be used to purchase a NuStep exerciser machine and/or other needed equipment to benefit fellow dementia and alzheimers residents of the Lilac Unit at Beacon Hill, Lombard, IL. Exercising on the equipment 3 times a week over the last 14 years had a dramatic and positive impact that both enhanced and prolonged Bea’s quality of life for 94 of her 94 ½ years. Having such equipment available within the Lilac Unit will enhance the quality of life of residents for decades to come. Please make checks payable to Beacon Hill c/o Ruane Family, 1918 Hampton Dr., Wheaton, IL 60189.
