Spotlight on Legacy Giving:
Why I am a member of the Legacy Society
Nina K. Miller
"I have been incredibly fortunate. Although not what most people would call wealthy, I live comfortably, travel a couple of times a year, and cover my expenses without difficulty.
Ithaca has been wonderful to me; I had meaningful work at 3 organizations, formed lifelong friendships, raised 3 children and watched them flourish. Although I lost my husband 10 years ago, the glow of a marriage that was filled with love, mutual support and encouragement remains a source of strength.
When I began to ponder the future, I realize I want to express my gratitude to the community that has nurtured me. My children have solid educations, and each a good work ethic. They manage their lives effectively, and while two of the three cope with some financial stress, they are proud and independent. They have a strong commitment to philanthropy.

The Ridenour-Shady Family Fund Honors Family Legacy
George Ridenour, Community Foundation board member from 2005 through 2010, loved spending a summer evening sitting on the lawn of the Danby Federated Church listening to the Ithaca Concert Band perform the Stars and Stripes Forever and his favorite Broadway show tunes.
"George would close his eyes while listening to the band and tell me it sounded like the Boston Pops," said his wife, Jeanette Shady.
At the end of last year's summer concert series, Mr. Ridenour said he wanted to make a gift to the band from the family's charitable fund, managed by Community Foundation of Tompkins County. Tragically, two months later, Mr. Ridenour died of a rare, sudden-onset brain disease.
Jeanette and their daughter, Sarah, co-donor advisors of the fund, carried through with his wishes and recently made a grant to the Ithaca Concert Band, the first gift made by Community Foundation to the ensemble. MORE
