OLOL honors "Gertye" Curran for 15 years of volunteer work
Gertrude "Gertye" Curran, familiar to those who visit the gift shop at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, was honored Wednesday by the hospital and OLOL Auxiliary members for "the most hours any volunteer has ever logged at OLOL."
Fifteen years and 40,000 hours later, Curran is stepping down as manager of the hospital's gift shop where she has worked from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., six days a week since 1971.
Curran officially retired as gift shop manager a month ago. The party was delayed until she recovered from eye surgery.
Curran, who started as a volunteer in 1962, is only retiring from her position as gift shop manager, not from serving as a volunteer. She plans to continue to volunteer "wherever she is needed."
During the party she was presented a special pin by Fatie Simmons, director of Volunteer Services at OLOL.
Earlier, for serving 30,000 volunteer hours, Curran received a pin designed with three little sapphires. Curran lost the pin, finding it in her garage after her car rolled over it.
At Wednesday's party she received an identical pin, containing four sapphires for her 40,000 hours.
Curran received a letter of appreciation from Sidney Duplessis, chairman of the board at the center; and a letter from Sister Pauline O'Sullivan, Order of St. Francis prvovencial, expressing appreciation for "the devotion you have shown since you started as a volunteer in 1962 for the help you gave as president of the auxiliary in 1967-68 and your continuing interest as gift shop manager since 1971. She also received a gift from the hospital.
Among the special guests were Mercedes Pugh, auxiliary president; Bishop Stanley Ott and Robert Davidge, executive director of the center.
At the party someone commented on how much Curran had given to the hospital.
"But you don't know how much I've gotten out of it," Curran replied.

When you enter the main entrance of the cemetery, turn right behind the funeral home and follow the road through the bend. As you approach the mausoleum on the right you will see the first walkway is all flagstone (donated by Julius Curran). That's the path that leads to the Chapel of the Resurrection. Gertrude and Julius are located inside the chapel.
