In 1996, Mrs. S. Patricia Jones demonstrated the power of planned giving by establishing one of the first endowment funds at Calgary Health Foundation, then called Calgary Health Trust. Inspired by a lifetime shaped by cardiac illness— and by the loss of both her parents, Catherine and John—she chose to create a lasting tribute through an endowment supporting cardiology care. In her will, Mrs. Jones directed a $150,000 gift in her parents’ names, ensuring her compassion would extend far beyond her lifetime. Following her passing in 1998, her vision took root. Today, the fund she started has grown to over $300,000, continuing to advance cardiology programs and improve lives across our community.
