History of Fund

The 3 "H's"

In 1964, three Greencastle sisters (left to right) -May Hammond, Adda Hutcheson and Jane Hays (known as the Three H's) - founded what is now known as Asbury Towers. The home which began with ties to the Disciples of Christ Church, became affiliated with the United Methodist Church in 1968. As with most things, Asbury has continued to grow and expand its facilities.

In 2005, Michael Chambers, President, Robert Porter, Treasurer, and Ed Carter, Secretary, initiated the Fund’s development, having recognized the financial challenges posed to Asbury Towers as it fulfills its commitment to its residents.   Ed Carter stated, “Fulfilling this pledge while continuing to provide a high level of care and service is what Asbury Towers is determined to do.  We are hopeful that many will contribute generously to the Fund, perhaps by designating the fund as a beneficiary of a will or a life insurance policy, so the Fund is able to keep pace with the growing need.” 

Asbury Towers Retirement Community is a not-for-profit retirement community. It is affiliated to the South Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church, but church affiliation or membership is not a requirement for residency.
