With heavy hearts, Chesterwye Center shares the passing of Diane McComb. Diane served as Vice President of Chesterwye Center’s Board of Directors and was a dedicated advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities throughout Maryland, especially on the Eastern Shore.

Diane’s many years of commitment, leadership, and support have left a lasting impact on Chesterwye Center and the lives of so many within our community. Her passion for advocacy and service will never be forgotten.

We are incredibly grateful for Diane’s years of dedication to our mission and the individuals we support. She will be deeply missed.

Please keep Diane’s family and loved ones in your thoughts.

On Thursday, April 30th, we celebrated the years of dedicated service to the Chesterwye Center by Wheeler and Holly Baker. Together among friends and family, we dedicated our newest residential home, The Baker House, in recognition of their decades of unwavering support. Their legacy will live on for years to come because of the impact they have made on the lives of those living with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Thank you to all who celebrated with us.
