Dr. Justin Levasseur
Dr. Justin Levasseur was one of our first Legacy Circle members. Dr. Justin and Joan LeVasseur not only delivered Meals on Wheels for many years but have also been faithful contributors to Meals on Wheels Wichita County. “Every week, he would drive and I would take the meals to the door,” Joan shared. When Dr. LeVasseur passed away in September 2017, the couple had already decided that his bequest would include helping seniors like the ones they had cared for while volunteering for Meals on Wheels. Joan hopes to encourage others to follow their example in making an impact beyond this lifetime.
Debra Suggs
Debra Suggs has chosen to be a part of Meals on Wheels Wichita County’s Legacy Circle. Debra has served as a board member and volunteer for Meals on Wheels, delivering on Mondays for many years. The Suggs Family has been a long-standing donor to Meals on Wheels Wichita County and a sponsor for fundraising events. Debra believes it is never too early to think about helping the ones you care about, including the men and women she serves weekly through Meals on Wheels. The Suggs bequest will support the future seniors, disabled, and homebound recipients as a symbol of her love for her present clients.
