Lasting Legacies
Virgil and Dolores Albertini
"When we first came to Northwest, we were certain that we wanted to stay. Northwest and Maryville became our home, and our students were like family. Northwest has been good to us, and we are proud to be a part of it."
Dr. Virgil Albertini served Northwest for 34 years as a professor of English before retiring in 1999. His wife, Dolores, was a librarian at Northwest and sponsored Gamma Sigma Sigma. The two co-authored Towers in the Northwest, a history of the University from 1956 to 1980. Sponsor of many campus organizations during his tenure and a past recipient of the Northwest Turret Award and the Distinguished Emeritus Faculty Award, Virgil served as faculty athletic representative for 17 years. The Albertinis, known for their dedication to students, have insured accessibility to future generations of Bearcats.
One of the easiest planned gifts to create and implement is the
bequest in your will or living trust. It allows you to give any
percentage of your estate as a charitable gift when a current gift of
real estate or cash might not otherwise be feasible.
Consider these advantages:
- You’re able to maintain control of your assets
- It provides a gift to Northwest in an amount you feel is appropriate, and you can still provide for your loved ones
- Estate tax deduction
- It’s simple to set up
- It provides for a cause you deem worthy at Northwest
- Includes membership in the James H. Lemon Heritage Society
- You leave a lasting legacy at Northwest
