Amy Parr
Amy was an inspiration to us all as she fought cancer. I always remember her bright smile!
Our Bunco group makes a donation every year to an organization that helps someone we know who needs help. Angie is in the end of life stages and your organization is giving her and her family a trip. We hope they get to go.
Tanya and I were both VPs for Student Affairs at Jesuit universities. I always appreciated Tanya because we didn’t just talk about work, but she talked a lot about her family and especially how much she enjoyed watching Gabe and Noah play baseball. Tanya was really good about keeping in touch through Christmas cards. I will miss that and much more.
I was so happy to read on CaringBridge that she was able to enjoy an outing with her family to watch the beloved Chicago Cubs. I am giving in her honor so other families can build fond memories. Please know you remain in my prayers.
Allen was a wonderful husband, father and friend. MFK blessed the Johnson family with a memorable trip to Minnesota in 2018. ❤️

Dr. Tanya Winegard was a cherished friend and coworker. She was a beloved member of the Creighton University family where she worked for the past 26 years, most recently as the Vice Provost for Student Life. She spent her career helping students navigate their way through college. Tanya was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer on August 8, 2022, but never let her faith waver. Tanya passed on October 28, 2023. She left behind two children.
Dean, my husband, father of 4…was the most kind God loving man I have ever had the honor to know. Memories for kids stepped in and was able to pull together a beautiful wedding for our oldest child so that his father could be present. Dean passed 2 months later and the actual wedding date was later that June. He would of never made it. Memories for kids gave us that gift of having the family together to celebrate Cole’s wedding. It is something we will never forget. This foundation goes above and beyond to give such wonderful memories that we will hold dear in our heart forever. Beyond Grateful! Thank you God and especially Julie P for helping us. Forever grateful, Sabrina
