We are deeply saddened to announce that our cherished Trustee, Tim Gardner, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.

As a Trustee for eight years, his contributions to St. Elizabeth's were immeasurable, and we will always be grateful for his steadfast commitment to our mission. Tim was known for regularly reminding us that “hope is not necessarily a strategy but it is an attitude,” and he served us for many years with this brand of optimism.

He will be remembered for his tenacity, wit, and wisdom, and his legacy will live on as he inspires others to step up and serve as he did so tirelessly. In honor of his memory, we look forward to celebrating his enormous impact at St. Elizabeth's School.

As a community, we express our sincerest condolences to his wife, Deb Froeb, and their two sons, Ben and Gus, and we welcome the opportunity to celebrate his life at the service to be held in the gardens at St. Anne's Episopal School on May 20 at 2:30pm. Click here for his obituary.
