Memorial Garden

Sun Valley Lodge has broken ground on a memorial garden designed to honor residents, families, and friends who have impacted life at the Lodge.  The garden is being constructed on the northwest side of the Lodge’s central courtyard.  It features a walkway that will be lined with memorial bricks and benches and culminates at a beautiful gazebo.  The walkway and gazebo were constructed with funds donated by friends and families of former residents.  The gazebo is dedicated to Richard Birocci and the walkway to Merle Fachet. 

 Marketing and Development Director Mike Kloberdanz said the Garden “is intended both as a living memorial and as a place of solitude, comfort and reflection.  It is a place where we can all remember some of the people who have made and continue to make Sun Valley Lodge such a special place.

 “We are thrilled that so many people have already chosen to leave their legacy at Sun Valley Lodge.  Funds raised through donations to the Memorial Garden will help us continue to fulfill our mission of providing affordable, quality living choices to Seniors in a trusting environment.”

The walkway leading to the gazebo will be lined with bricks inscribed with the names of donors.   If you would like to order a brick or otherwise support our memorial garden you can contribute through our website: www.sunvalleylodge.org.  Or, contact our development office directly at (623)933-0137 extension 129.
