In Memory
This conference is dedicated to the memory of Lucy Harris Caddell and John A. Caddell. The Caddell family is beloved and respected in our community. Mrs. Caddell was diagnosed at the University of Alabama in Birmingham in 1985 as probably suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The progress of the disease was very slow, and Mr. Caddell was her loving caregiver for 17 years prior to her death on March 16, 2002. An autopsy performed at the UAB Alzheimer's Disease Center confirmed Alzheimer's disease. Mr. Caddell was a strong supporter of the Mental Health Association in its efforts to aid the victims of Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. He passed away at the age of 95 on February 7, 2006. We pledge to continue honoring Mr. and Mrs. Caddell through this annual conference.
