The Transitions community has experienced several losses in the last year, including two women who changed the face of Spokane through their work with Women's Hearth. We are grieved that our fellow Hearthians, Sister Cathy Beckley, founder of Women's Hearth, died November 2025, and Sister Mary Rathert, long-time Program Director of Women's Hearth and former member of Transitions Board of Members, died January 2026. These women were powerful forces for change, kindness, and care. The Hearth would not exist without their vision and leadership. Their memories will forever be a blessing.
Please join us on for a memorial in their honor:
Monday, June 29th, 2026
at the Women’s Hearth
920 W 2nd Spokane 99201
4p to 6p
It will be a Hearthian memorial. All who attend will have the opportunity to share a memory of Sisters Cathy and Mary. Light refreshments will be served.
Please send this invitation to your networks—we want to make sure as many folks come as are able. We will offer a Zoom option for those who can't attend in person: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81017061800.
