đź©şHappy National Nurses Week from the Nurses Honor Guard of East Central Alabama!

We are grateful for every opportunity to honor the nurses who have gone before us — those who dedicated their lives to serving their patients and communities with compassion, strength, and selflessness, regardless of background, race, financial status, religious beliefs, or political preferences.

To all nurses serving today: thank you. Thank you for the difficult, challenging, and often exhausting work you do each and every day. Thank you for the holidays missed, the long shifts, the sleepless nights, and the countless moments spent away from your own families so you could care for someone else’s loved one.

Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed. We see you, we appreciate you, and we are honored to celebrate you this week and always.

We got a very last minute request for a tribute tomorrow in Phenix City (Vance Brooks Funeral Home, 2pm eastern/1pm central) and only have 2 nurses able to attend on short notice. If any nurses have been thinking about attending a tribute to see what it's about, tomorrow would be a great time to jump in. There will be 2 members who have attended many tributes who will be able to walk you through it. Please spread the word to your nurse friends!

CALL TO SERVICE: Mary Ann Howard

Mary Ann was a nurse for 45 years and was well known for her love and devotion to her patients. Her desire to work with oncology patients developed after the loss off her teenage granddaughter to leukemia.

Service will be tomorrow February 19 at 2pm eastern/1pm central at Vance Brooks Funeral Home in Phenix City, AL. Please respond if you are able to attend.

The East Central Alabama Nurses Honor Guard proudly represented alongside the Nurse Honor Guard of West Alabama at Nurses Day at the Capital on February 3. It was a meaningful day of advocacy, connection, and sharing the heart behind our mission.

NHGECA Founder, Amanda Simmons, had the honor of speaking to a full conference room of nurses and nursing students at the Parsons Building, helping spread awareness of our mission and the importance of honoring our colleagues. She also met with several legislators to discuss increasing awareness of the Nurse Honor Guard and exploring additional ways we can serve and give back to our communities beyond honoring our fallen nurses. These conversations opened the door to future partnerships and new opportunities to support both the nursing profession and the communities we care for every day.

We are grateful for the opportunity to advocate for a cause that ensures no nurse is ever forgotten.

On Sunday February 1, 2026, the Nurses Honor Guard of East Central Alabama had the honor of paying tribute to Dottie Richburg RN at Lake Martin Funeral Home and Cremation Center.

Dottie graduated from the University of South Alabama in 1987 and built a remarkable career that reflected both her skill and her heart. Dottie worked as a traveling nurse for much of her career, serving patients in many communities and quickly becoming a trusted presence wherever she served. She also brought her talents to psychiatric nursing and emergency departments, meeting people at their most vulnerable moments. Even near the end of her life, Dottie continued doing what she loved, working one day a week at Community Hospital in Tallassee, because nursing was never just a job—it was part of who she was.

Dottie was a nurse in the truest sense of the word—compassionate and deeply devoted to caring for others. Dottie was fun-loving and outgoing with an unforgettable laugh. With her expressions often speaking before her words, she was known for her unfiltered honesty. Patients and coworkers felt at ease with her, knowing they were in capable, caring hands. She had a natural gift for conversation and connection, forming bonds quickly and leaving lasting impressions wherever she worked.

Caring for others extended beyond her profession. Dottie's loyalty, sense of responsibility, and strength defined her life and her nursing practice. Dottie was deeply loved and will be deeply missed, but her legacy lives on through the countless lives she touched with her compassion, honesty, and unwavering care.

Dottie Richburg RN, we officially release you from your nursing duties. Your service is complete. We will proudly continue to carry the torch.
