The staff at Rice Care Center shared their time and talents to make a Dignity Quilt which is used as a drape for residents who have passed on as they are wheeled to the hearse. It is part of the ritual to honor the person who has died.

The Dignity Quilt was pieced by staff members JoNell Hanson, Rose Newhouse, Karen Sietsema, and Beverly Jones, and quilted by Connie Peters. Julie Olson of Hugs and Stitches Quilts designed the quilt pattern.
