Friends of Sheffield Cemetery purchased a new wrought-iron gate with decorative finials for the west side of Sheffield Cemetery. The project was organized by Judy Lanes, chair.
To honor Rickie Haith, the founder and first chair of Friends of Sheffield Cemetery from 2006 to 2023, two flower gardens were planted on each side of the front gate by the renovated Sheffield Chapel.
Spencer Schere, chair of Friends of Sheffield Cemetery, along with the executive committee and board of directors, expressed their gratitude for Haith’s dedication, leadership and commitment to raise the funds to restore the grounds and renovate the historic chapel.
Recently, two granite benches were gifted to beautify the cemetery’s brick patio for visiting or meditation. Barb Stras was the organizer for the patio.
For information or to make a contribution to Friends of Sheffield to keep the cemetery in pristine condition, those interested can notify Schere at (913) 461-1610.
