Shirley Finlay, of Sedalia, whose favorite color is pink, was one of the original skaters at the Wheel Thing Skating Center in Sedalia when it first opened. Finlay, a Crossroads Hospice patient, would go all the time with her family but hadn’t participated in the sport in more than 30 years until she requested a return as part of a Gift of a Day.

Crossroads Hospice arranged the skating party for Finlay and four generations of family through its Gift of a Day program, which asks patients what their perfect day would be and then staff and volunteers work to make it a reality.
