In addition, McCue Mortgage is proud to sponsor the M.

Gertrude McCue, who dedicated over 45 years of service, both as a patient-advocate and friend of the hospital. Gert helped found the hospital’s Auxiliary in 1952, as well as its gift shop and thrift store. Gertrude McCue was the wife of the late William D. McCue who founded the McCue Mortgage Company in 1949. Each year, a Hospital for Special Care volunteer is selected who exemplifies the spirit of volunteerism and the unwavering service that Gert McCue’s exhibited in her lifetime.

William D. McCue, founder of McCue Mortgage, was the recipient of several service honors including being named a Knight of St. Gregory, Civil Cross by Pope Paul VI in 1963; awarded the 175th Anniversary Medal of Honor by Georgetown University in 1964; and in 1971, was given Georgetown’s John Carroll Award, the highest tribute alumni pay to one of its fellow graduates.
