The Arkansas Nurses Honor Guard recently celebrated the lives and dedication of two extraordinary nurses with a heartfelt living tribute. Eva Young, a 97-year-old nurse who began her career in the 1940s, and Jan Stackhouse, a 72-year-old former Director of Nursing, were honored with a hand-crafted quilt, a bouquet of flowers surrounding a white rose, and a Nightingale lamp keepsake at the Southern Trace Rehabilitation and Care Center in Bryant.
Tina Coppock, LPN and Saline County Chapter Leader of the Arkansas Nurses Honor Guard, expressed the emotional impact of delivering a tribute to these dedicated nurses, stating, “We don’t have to know the nurse to know that they are our sister or our brother, and it’s a very emotional thing to be able to deliver a tribute to them.”
The Arkansas Nurses Honor Guard was established in 2021 and has since grown to 24 chapters across the state, having provided 220 tributes to nurses at funeral services and memorial services. However, this living tribute marked a significant first for the organization.
The Nurses Honor Guard has been a part of the United States since 2002, but it was not until 2021 that the organization came to Arkansas. For those interested in requesting their services, more information can be found on their website at www.anhg.info or on their Facebook page.
