JANESVILLE
Betty Johns and Annie Kessler can be found Thursday afternoons in the gift shop at SSM Health St. Mary s Hospital-Janesville, where they argue about rival baseball teams or pore over cooking magazines when they re not helping customers.
The pair chat like lifelong friends, but they met just a couple of years ago while volunteering at the hospital.
Their responsibilities include the gift shop and baking cookies in the lobby during the highly anticipated monthly cookie days.
Their post at the gift shop involves more than just sales. They re there to provide a listening ear or word of advice for people who are visiting loved ones on some of their bestâor worstâdays.
