​About the Founder, Faith Schwalback

Faith Schwalback married her high school sweetheart, Scott  in 1989. Together they support and love one another in all their personal and professional endeavors. Beverly, Faith's Mother, lived with them for 15 years.

Beverly was talented and giving in many ways. However, Beverly was hardest on her children. Faith created Beverly's Angels as a way to heal herself and keep the good alive in her mother while serving her community.  A beautiful silver lining is  what she created was a platform for other daugthers to heal and/or mend their own relationships.

Together, our mission is to share love, gratitude and kindness through various acts and deeds in an effort to honor all of our mothers.

About my Mom, Beverly

​Beverly was a vibrant and creative woman. She was always working with her hands, making food or crafts, to give to others. She was often sewing, cross-stitching or knitting. Most everyone she ever met has something that was “Handmade by Bev” as she typically gave her creations to others.

When Faith was a child, she dreamed of walking in the Holly Hill Parade as a dancer. They didn’t have much money, but she found a way to make Faith's dream a reality. Bev made an exact replica of the dance outfit so Faith might shine. No one knew she was different from the rest of the group. But Faith felt special.

As her dementia progressed, it became harder to have those types of special moments with her. It was time for Faith to care for her and not the other way around. Faith hopes she gave her that feelings of being special and that perhaps she remembered that when other memories drifted away. Anyone that she thought she should know and couldn't remember their name she would simply call them Angel, hence Beverlys' Angels.

My Mom loved her children. She had spunk, charisma and talent until the end of her life.

She is now the perfect Angel for me.

How I Started

For as long as I can remember my Mom would make a homemade Thanksgiving feast and drop it off at our church for the pastor to give someone a hand up. As she aged, my husband and I began to help and it snowballed into my girlfriends making their favorite holiday dish to add to the feast for another family.

When her dementia began to advance, she would attend a “Ladies Club” for those struggling with dementia. My girlfriends rallied again, and we started to serve Thanksgiving Dinner for the Ladies Club and their volunteers and workers.
​ Today it is our signature event.
