Brisco said she was ‘blessed to serve’ on many boards and help her community
Devoted Sudbury volunteer Bev Brisco passed away at Maison McCulloch Hospice March 25 at the age of 74 after being diagnosed with lung and bone cancer in 2020.
Beyond her work with the hospice, Brisco was also a well-known volunteer with the Northern Cancer Foundation, and was part of Angels in Pink, a team of Sudburians who raised money for breast cancer equipment and a van that takes women to and from breast screening appointments. The award is named for the late June Callwood, a long-time advocate of hospice, community activist, journalist, author and recipient of the Order of Canada.
"The essence of our hospice is caring and sharing,” said Gerry Lougheed Jr., chair of the Sudbury Hospice Foundation board, which nominated Brisco for the award. “When you volunteer and truly get involved, it becomes a passion because you see the results of your efforts and the team effort it takes to achieve an organization’s goals.”
