The Inspiration Behind Maude's Awards with Executive Director Marilyn Raichle, MPA and Prior Winner Marigrace Becker

All Home Care Matters

All Home Care Matters was honored to welcome Marilyn Raichle the Executive Director of Maude's Awards and prior Maude's Award winner, Marigrace Becker as guests of the show. The Inspiration Behind Maude's Awards: Maude Ferry, matriarch extraordinaire, brought a long and lasting gift of love for all who walk in her path. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend with a big and generous heart. Loyal, thoughtful, encouraging and wise in her words and actions, she inspired joy and purpose. After the birth of their sixth child, her husband Richard co-founded and led Korn Ferry International to become the world’s premier provider of executive human capital solutions. Yet even with the growing success and demands of her husband’s company, Maude never lost sight of her values and her faith. Maude was a loving and supportive spouse—silent partner, goodwill ambassador, corporate wife, community volunteer and dedicated mother to their children as well as twelve grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Throughout the years, Richard and Maude were passionately engaged in their community and have supported numerous civic and charitable causes, with a focus on the Catholic Church, education and health care. In 2013, Maude was diagnosed with dementia and Richard continued their shared journey as a loving caregiver and tireless advocate. Together they are built a Legacy of Love. Maude’s Awards for Innovation in Alzheimer’s Care carries their commitment forward—encouraging, celebrating and sharing innovations that will enrich the quality of life for persons living with dementia and their caregivers for generations to follow.
