Trib Live: A maintenance worker at the former Jeannette District Memorial Hospital was confused when he saw Rosemary Kindelan’s familiar face in the building on a Friday.
“He threw his hands up in the air and said, ‘Don’t tell me it’s Monday,’ ” Kindelan recalled.
Kindelan, who turned 99 on Dec. 27, had come to the hospital that day years ago as a patient to get some blood work done.
But, for 42 years, she has more often gone to a hospital to volunteer — beginning in October 1982 at the Jeannette hospital and, since Feb. 14, 2011, at Westmoreland Hospital in Greensburg. All told, she’s logged 10,400 hours as a volunteer between the two hospitals.
