Late FF resident donates $30,000 to YMCA
Published 10:48am Tuesday, December 18, 2012A Fergus Falls woman known for caring and giving back to the community recently made a final contribution in the form of $30,000 to the YMCA.
Nancy Lawson died in March, but she has recently given three final contributions.
Lawson selected longtime friend Jim Worner to look after her estate when she died. Worner presented a check to the YMCA Monday night for $30,000 from Lawson.
She also made contributions to Federated Church and Habitat for Humanity. The dollar amounts for these donations have not been disclosed at this time.
Lawson was a social services worker and worked for the Minnesota Department of Health in Fergus Falls for 10 years until she retired. In her retirement, she was instrumental in starting Habitat for Humanity and the Food Shelf in Fergus Falls.
“She had a passion in life for the YMCA,” Worner said. “She believed in helping people, and she loved kids.”
