A Story Worth Sharing 💙
Through a wonderful collaboration between Iowa River Hospice and Glenwood Place’s “Dare to Dream” program, retired teacher and hospice patient, Shirley Sternola, got to relive one of her greatest joys — reading stories to children. 
At 91 years old, Shirley spent her life inspiring young minds across several states and even owned a bookstore called Bo Peep Books (a perfect nod to her maiden name, Lamb!). Glenwood Place threw a surprise book club party and Shirley got to sign and read a children's book that an old friend dedicated to her.
Moments like these remind us what hospice care is truly about: honoring lives, celebrating passions, and creating meaningful experiences.
We’re so proud to see our very own hospice nurse, Angie Wilson, featured on KCCI for helping make a special dream come true at Glenwood Place in Marshalltown!
