“We can’t all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” ~ Mother Teresa

Our volunteers are wonderful. They make it happen!

Patricia Ann Stephens

Honored and remembered with love.

Pat was a founding member, guiding light, and tireless worker for Babies in Need. She brought knowledge of our local community, publicity and communication skills, business and computer skills, and served as treasurer and secretary for many years. She also made countless receiving blankets, bibs, burp cloths, and gifts for our babies. Pat’s welcoming smile, bubbling laughter and generous spirit brought joy and love to everyone around her.
