Marion Vise has devoted more than 40 years of service to Hospice Austin, leading bereavement support groups and helping thousands of Central Texans along the way.

Established in 1979, Hospice Austin was the first end-of-life care center in Central Texas and is currently Austin’s only nonprofit hospice. Anyone can receive treatment from them no matter the typical restrictors – such as age or financial status, they just want to gift people comfortable final months. Their organization has over 400 trained volunteers today, but Marion’s been involved since almost the beginning. She started her volunteer journey just two years after their first patient was served.

On Wednesday April 22nd, RecognizeGood had the priviledge of visiting Hospice Austin, and presenting our Legend Award to Marion. She spoke about how much Hospice Austin means to her and the room was filled with volunteers and staff who adore Marion!
