Long-Time Participant, Volunteer & Strong Supporter of the Senior Center, Karen Lewis, passed away on March 23, 2024.
Karen truly enjoyed her many years of Volunteer involvement at the Senior Center, serving as Receptionist, Volunteer Coordinator, assisting with the Annual High Tea Fundraiser, helping newcomers become acquainted as well as taking part in various activities and bus trips. She formed many friends at the Center which she treasured long after she was no longer able to Volunteer.
Sister, Sharon Cutsforth indicates: I was personally impressed with the setting, the activities and the friendliness of the people on my few visits to the Center. In fact, I enjoyed taking a jewelry -making class with Karen on one of my last visits to West Bend.
In Loving Memory of Karen,
Sharon Cutsforth & Family (Springfield, Oregon)

Our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Betty Bloom, lived to serve people and make this world a better place for those she held dearly in her heart. Mom was a humble, loving woman who shared her many gifts with family, friends and her community including the Washington County Senior Center. Whether it was creating treats for the bake sale or giving away her homemade apple sauce and strawberry jam or embroidering a work of art for a loved one, mom gave from a place of love. She was beloved by her Wii bowling team, her cribbage friends and everyone who had the privilege to meet her. Our family is honored that SCAI is carrying on her spirit with the Bloomin’ Forever Program. Mom loved the Senior Center and would regale us with stories of her friends, the games, the dinners, the fund raising activities and the love that she received from all of you. It is in this spirit that we are pleased to donate to the Bountiful Bouquet level on behalf of our mom, Betty Bloom, so that her love may bring happiness and friendship to all who share in this community. We love you mom, and believe that you are with us always. David, Diane, Janice, Jerry and Debra Bloom |

Our deep sympathies are extended to the Family of Matt Bloom who unexpectedly passed away this past summer. Matt's grandmother, Betty Bloom spent a lot of time at the Senior Center over the years - she just loved it! So Matt's family decided to make a $500 donation to the Senior Center as Matt would have wanted things that way. Thank you & God Bless The Bloom Families!
