Marsha Bishop
Director
Our lives are very short. I personally feel that anything we can offer others as support in times of grief and loss of loved ones is valuable.

Julia Cundliffe
Secretary
I was born in Golden and still reside there after enjoying many businesses before retiring a few years ago. Hospice was always something that I was naturally attracted to and a small group started in Golden approx. 25 years ago. We were a very casual group until 1999 when we became more structured and finally joined the BC. Hospice Association.
We are still strictly a volunteer group of trained individuals who are always ready to assist when being called.
I am a past president of our local group and have been the secretary of the Golden Hospice Society for the past several years
