Carolyn Phanstiel moved to Nassau County in 1962. She was a teacher for over 40 years in the area and overseas. She is a loyal supporter of Barnabas as both a donor and a volunteer. We asked her to share her story with us:
| Chances are there will be people in need in Nassau County for a very long time. That’s why we launched a new Wills & Estates program. These planned gifts are given through your wills & estates and benefit those in need in Nassau County for years to come. |
“…an important motivation is my wanting to be a good role model for my children and grandchildren. I have met with them to explain why, along with them, I have written Barnabas into my will. More than anything, I want this kind of legacy to be a Phanstiel family value.”

| Chances are there will be people in need in Nassau County for a very long time. In response, Barnabas Center has launched a new Wills & Estates program to help the community understand more about making a financial contribution, to benefit others, through their wills/estates. Local resident, Carolyn Phanstiel, shared her reflections on the important reasons she provided for Barnabas in her will saying, Barnabas is using the testimonial words of Ms. Phanstiel to reach local donors and supporters with the important message of leaving a legacy to help others through estate planning. Estate planning can sound intimidating and like something that can wait for retirement. Many people believe it is only for the very wealthy but in reality, it is important for everyone to consider and the time to create a plan is now! Without a plan, decisions about your assets, your healthcare and the care of your children are left to the courts and state laws to handle. Barnabas is offering free, estate and will planning information. Interested persons should contact Tania Yount, Chief Development Officer, at tyount@Barnabasnassau.org or 904.261.7000.
