Volunteer Profile

We’d like to introduce you to Jacquie O’Neil, who generously volunteers her time at both the Manor and Hospital (Palliative Care)… 20 years with the Manor, and a total of 30 in Palliative Care!

We asked Jacquie why she volunteers at SJGHEL and she told us “I just love people; love doing things to make people happy & to make their lives better. Everybody needs a kind word, needs a gentle touch.”

When asked what she liked most about volunteering at the Manor, she said “Those people are so grateful for every little thing – nothing big – that we do. Especially the ones with dementia or alzheimer’s are special to me.”

Besides her work in Palliative Care, Jacquie also collects jewellery and stuffed toys for Manor bingo and delivers them to the Manor, AND goes to St. Vincent DePaul for clothing for the Manor and Huron Lodge…with her wonderful sense of humour, she commented “I’m a distribution centre during the Pandemic!”

Thank you so much for all that you do, Jacquie!
