About the Foundation

The Lydia Fisher Warner Memorial Trust was established under the Last Will and Testament of Ms. Warner. Her desire was to support hospitals located in the city of Philadelphia and its vicinity in memory of her mother, Annie L. Warner, her father, John Warner, her aunt, Sarah W. Lewis, and her uncle’s Miers Fisher Warner and Redwood F. Warner. As a perpetual trust, the income from Ms. Warner’s trust will benefit the Philadelphia community for many years to come.
