We are extremely grateful to Rachel, Lyle and Les Smith, for remembering the East County Senior Center in their estate plans.

Rachel's husband, Lyle, helped build the previous senior center up on the hill, and continued his involvement with the ECSC throughout his life. Rachel was also involved for many years, and is perhaps best remembered for the wonderful quilts she made for the Center. Their son, Les, was a frequent visitor during his 72 year life, and lit up the Center with his presence on a regular basis.

During their lives, the Smiths set up their estate planning so that they had all that they needed to care for themselves and their son during their lives, and then shared the remainder of their estate upon their deaths with both surviving family and the Senior Center.

What a wonderful legacy they have left for those they cared about - their family and the Senior Center that they loved.
