Looking Back C-K Senior of the Year 2014

Dixie Peters was well-deserving of the 2014 SENIOR OF THE YEAR award last summer, and congratulations go out again to Dixie on such a wonderful accomplishment!

Dixie has been volunteering her time to help others for nearly 20 years, which includes unbelievable compassion and devotion to widows, widowers, family and friends in their struggle to deal with losing a loved one. Dixie began supporting others after experiencing the loss of her husband Jim. She attended a Chatham Mental Health Association grief workshop and from there she began volunteering and later became the widow-widower support group program coordinator. Over time, the program was discontinued and Dixie decided to continue the support group on her own creating “A Time to Mourn”- a current Blenheim & Area bereavement support program.

Thank-you Dixie, we are lucky to have volunteers like you to help make Chatham-Kent a better place for all of us
