Hospice volunteer finds hope in end of life care
Susan Hammonds profiles Joyce Sherrod, a Midland Hospice of Midland volunteer who helps families cope with terminal illness. She views death as a transition, aided by faith, compassion, and personal involvement with patients like the German American Fix family. Sherrod balances church beliefs with patient needs, aids with meals and errands, and supports Dena Fix through her mother's illness and graduation. Her work emphasizes hospice as a caring presence rather than a cold institution.
