Couple Donates Stained Glass Windows in Tribute to Her Parents and Phoebe’s Role his is a dream come true!” says Chaplain Dorothy “TShelly of the meditative space that will enhance her ministry. Recent renovations and space modifications to Phoebe Richland Health Care Center made it possible to create a chapel within the building. The focal point of the room is a three-panel stained glass window depicting “Creation.” Sunbeams illuminate the scene, which is framed by trees and greenery surrounding a body of water, a gently cascading waterfall and animals, such as prairie dogs, butterflies and a dove. Donated by Rev. Ronald and Joyce Krick in memory of her parents, Samuel and Pauline Kline, the window has special significance. Pauline was a long-time member of Phoebe Home’s staff, and both Samuel and Pauline became residents of Phoebe Richland in 2003. Of her experience with Phoebe, Joyce stated, “Everyone on staff was always there for my parents and for us, their family. They were helpful, no matter what time of day we visited.” The Kricks immediately came forward as donors when they learned of the Center’s wish for a stained Congregational Gifts, continued Wyomissing UCC (Gouglersville) Zion UCC (Womelsdorf) Zions Blue Mt.

Joyce thought it would make a wonderful tribute to her parents. Phoebe Richland employee Jan Koren, who was one of Mrs. Kline’s caregivers, agrees. Jan also has a personal connection to the window since it was crafted by her brother-in-law, local glass artist Jeff Koren. “I’m really happy he could be involved, because I came to know Mrs. Krick well after her mother came to live with us. I had worked briefly with her mother more than 20 years ago at Phoebe Home. It all just fell into place.” Sadly, Joyce Krick passed away on October 26, 2007, after a long illness. While we celebrate the Kricks generosity, our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. ■ e are so blessed that someone came “Wforward to help us turn our vision into reality,” exclaims Mary Kay McMahon, Administrator, Phoebe Richland Health Care Center. McMahon is referencing an extraordinary gift made by Frank Banko, which supported renovations to the Center’s entrance and lobby area. Until renovation took place, the Center’s main entrance was not well defined, and a formal waiting area did not exist. The renovated space now features a welcoming entrance and a homelike space in which residents and families can gather. Banko, an active local businessman, has connections to many community organizations. As he states, “I am fortunate to be able to support many organizations that provide services and help the people of our community.” But this gift has particular significance. Banko funded the renovation in loving memory of his mother, Lena,, who resided at Zohlman The Messenger/Annual Report Issue 15 Phoebe Richland’s stained glass window provides a spiritual backdrop for meditation and prayer in the newly created chapel. Of the piece, employee Jan Koren says, “It is so bright when you walk in, even on a cloudy day. Every time I look at it, I see something different.” Area Businessman’s Gift to Phoebe Richland Makes Entrance Renovations a Reality Nursing Home more than 30 years before Phoebe acquired the property that became Phoebe Richland Health Care Center. Touring the updated community, Banko said he was impressed by the changes Phoebe had made and the care he witnessed. Director of Admissions Sally McNamara commented, “The impact of Mr. Banko’s generosity is wonderful. We now have a lobby that anchors our new layout and reflects the warmth and quality care residents and visitors associate with Phoebe.” ■ Above: Frank Banko in new lobby with plaque honoring his mother, Lena, who resided at the former Zohlman Nursing Home, which pre-dated Phoebe Richland.
