Health Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation, and the University of
Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center Foundation
During her 95 years of life, Ethel Groh Webster Williams
generously gave her time, talent, and treasures to the
community. After her passing, Ethel’s legacy continues to make
an impact through her bequest to three county institutions.
Through a $5.1 million legacy gift from the Ethel Groh Webster
Williams Trust, with $1.7 million each awarded to Anne
Arundel Community College Foundation (AACCF), Luminis
Health Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation (LHAAMCF),
and University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical
Center Foundation (UM BWMCF), her generosity will make a
lasting impact on our community.
“This generous act of philanthropy reflects Ethel’s unwavering
commitment to the wellbeing of her beloved community,” said
Lois Simpson, a longtime friend of Ethel. “Her generous gift
ensures that Ethel’s legacy lives on and that the community will
flourish as a place of compassion, education, and healing.”
All three organizations collaborated to nominate the Trust for
the award and each said the gift will be transformative to their
respective institutions and will ensure individuals in Anne
Arundel County can continue to access critical health care
services and educational resources.
