legacy gift
Family visited Ware Center in
November to remember Frank
The family of the late Frank Ware, in accordance with
his wishes, presented a generous legacy gift of $40,000 to
Rosecrance at a special gathering on Nov. 17 at the Ware
Center in downtown Rockford.
Frank, who died unexpectedly on Feb. 13, 2011, had
made provisions for a portion of his estate to go for the
benefit of individuals in need of mental health services.
The gift will be placed in The Rosecrance Foundation
Endowment Fund and will be restricted to support the
Mental Health Division.
A delegation of Frank’s relatives traveled from New
Jersey to tour the Ware Center, which was renamed
in Frank’s honor on Sept. 1. The guests also had the
opportunity to visit with staff members who had worked
with Frank through the years.
Family present included Frank’s three brothers, David,
Robert and William, and two of his three sisters, Estella
and Martha. Sister Nancy was unable to make the trip.
Numerous other relatives and friends from New Jersey
and Iowa attended the event, as well.
