Dear Editor,

Chilton Medical Center mourns the loss of dedicated Auxiliary member Ruth Tinsley.

Tinsley served CMC as a Pink Lady (Ladies Auxiliary) from 1997-2011. Ms. Tinsley was a familiar face on Monday and Wednesday mornings and any other days she was needed to fill in for others. She worked the reception desk as well as in the gift shop with Evelyn Littleton.

Ms. Tinsley gave graciously of her time to the total of 5,187 hours. Her dedication to the hospital, employees and patients is appreciated beyond words.

A tree will be planted in Chilton Medical Center’s Prayer Garden in her memory.

She will truly be missed. We have lost a valued member of our hospital family.

Anne Taddicken, Chilton Medical Center
