The garden area was named "Marianne's Garden" in honor of Marianne Marks, a beloved VA employee who passed away in 1999. Her daughter, Melanie, worked closely with the Fisher House staff to create a garden her mother would have loved. (Read a message from Marianne's family).
The outdoor guest area, brings the added benefit of giving guests, a peaceful space outside to rest and reflect. As families contend with being away from the familiarity of home and dealing with the medical needs of a loved one, it can be the everyday tasks like cooking, folding laundry, or taking time outdoors to sit, rest, and enjoy nature that provide a feeling of normalcy.
Friends of Fisher House Puget Sound, we keep families together because a family's love is good medicine!
