The Pueblo Chieftain
For the New Year, we thought it would be interesting to ask leaders from around the community for their 2021 wishes for Pueblo. The response was great. Some were personal. Some related to the contributor’s position. Many, of course, focused on COVID-19 challenges. So here we go …
Let’s start with of our two local hospitals leaders, who, given the pandemic, certainly played a critical role within our community this past year.
“I wish for the acceptance of the Covid-19 vaccines. There has been way too much pain and suffering for patients and families around the world.” Leslie Barnes, president and CEO, Parkview Medical Center.
The couple died less than 72 hours apart in their family home earlier in December.
“The concurrent loss of both of these individuals is devastating, but is a testament to their commitment to one another and the incredible way in which life can sometimes work,” Gianna Lisac, the couple’s youngest granddaughter, said.
“My grandparents fostered a family environment where you always felt at home and where you knew you were always loved and appreciated for exactly the person you were, and it’s something our family will always carry with us.”
Josephine’s health was declining, so family had gathered in socially distant shifts prior to their deaths to say their goodbyes.
