Memorial Tree of Lights
In an effort to help members of the community remember loved ones during the holiday season, the Friends of Hospice, in support of Guthrie Hospice Vestal, is once again inviting the community to light the Memorial Tree of Lights. This annual tradition is a project that has been in existence in the community for over 25 years, with memorial trees located in Apalachin, Barton, Berkshire, Campville, Candor, Lockwood, Newark Valley, Nichols, Owego, Richford, Spencer, Tioga Center, Waverly and Willseyville that will be lighted. Within each community a sign located by the tree denotes it as the Memorial Tree of Lights.
The program initially began with the planting of a tree in each town square located throughout Tioga county; the same trees that have been lighted year after year. For a $10 donation a light can be purchased in honor of a loved one who has passed. Approximately 1,500 names are memorialized through the Tree of Lights each year. In addition to each white light memorializing the deceased loved one, the name of the loved one is also printed once in the Owego Pennysaver for each donation through Christmas.
To participate in lighting your community’s Memorial Tree of Lights in memory of loved one(s), mail it to:
