Let’s Never Forget Joyce Kinzie
First Presbyterian Church sponsors the June Central Illinois Regional Blood
Drive, and it is a memorial to the late Joyce Kinzie, who was a member of First
Presbyterian Church and very active in the Lincoln community. The Central
Illinois Community Blood Center is the sole provider of blood and blood products
to patients of hospitals in fourteen counties, including Abraham Lincoln
Memorial Hospital in Logan County.
Joyce passed away in September 2010 from pancreatic cancer. First Presbyterian
was, at the time of her death, planning a Special Blood Drive at the church in
her honor. After her death, that Blood Drive was so successful that the
congregation decided to have the annual June Blood Drive in her name.
This year’s Blood Drive is at the Masonic Temple on North Kickapoo Street
from noon – 6:00 P.M. on Monday, June 4, 2012.
What a wonderful way to honor Joyce’s memory by donating blood!
