Planned Giving Donor Stories

Adaline and Gerald

Adaline and Gerald James of Vale, Oregon made a substantial gift to support the health of future generations, leaving a significant portion of their estate to St. Luke’s. Upon their passing, St. Luke’s received almost $895,000. What is so incredible, yet typical of our generous donors, is that St. Luke’s did not know about this gift prior to the couple's death. Although Adaline and Gerald had been donors to St. Luke’s in the past, they chose to keep their estate gift a secret. During their lifetime, they gave three gifts totaling $125. Their estate gift was over 7,000 times larger than their lifetime giving!

The Foundation team wishes we could have thanked Adaline and James personally, and honored their gift during their lives. We are truly grateful for their generosity. Their gift will endure in our general endowment and be used where the need is greatest over time.
