This past year marks the passing of two premier Community Foundation
and community advocates, William A. and Ruth B. Walrod of Kennedy,
New York.
Mrs. Walrod graduated from Alfred University with a Bachelor of Arts degree
and a Masters of Education degree. She highly valued the importance of
acquiring an education and felt the first step to that goal was to support local
students in attending Jamestown Community College. The Ruth Benson
Walrod Scholarship Fund provides scholarships for Frewsburg Central School
graduating seniors entering Jamestown Community College.
Mr. Walrod, a graduate of Empire State College, Jamestown Community
College and Jamestown Business College was a veteran of World War II.
From 1970–1985, he served as the Veteran Service Officer for Chautauqua
County in the Jamestown office. Among many community organizations,
Mr. Walrod was a member of the American Legion Ira Lou Spring Post 149
and the Veterans of Foreign Wars John W. Tiffany Post 53. In 1991, he
established the William A. Walrod Veteran’s Van Fund. This fund provides
transportation assistance for needy veterans to Veteran Administration facilities.
Together, they founded the William A. and Ruth B. Walrod Kennedy Library
Fund. This fund will forever provide yearly income to the Kennedy Library.
The legacy of Mr. and Mrs. Walrod is inspirational and reflects those aspects
of life which were important to them.
