Husband of cancer patient who died in September donates bell, cash to Ogdensburg treatment center

Posted

OGDENSBURG -- Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center’s Winter Cancer Treatment Center now has a bell patients can ring when they finish their treatment, donated by a dead former patient’s husband.

Jim Sovie gave the bell and a cash donation on Nov. 20 in honor of his wife, Darles Sovie, who died Sept. 1.

“Darles Sovie was a patient at the cancer center, being treated for multiple myeloma. Unfortunately, Darles never had the opportunity to celebrate the completion of her treatments,” CHMC said in a prepared statement.

Jim Sovie also gave $2,250 to the center, which came from family and friends.
