Good Eggs
Anne Nethercott has lived her life following her mother’s advice — give an egg, knit a sweater.
“My parents went through the Depression and you gave to your neighbor, even if it was only an egg, or you knitted a sweater,” she shared. “Giving is part of living, you know. You have to do it. If you don’t, you think too much about yourself. My mother used to say, ‘the best way of finding yourself is losing yourself and helping your brotherhood of man.’”
Anne and her husband Jim, who passed away in 2009, made helping others a lifestyle.
