Meme Krahe Yanetsko
Hi there! I'm Meme Krahe Yanetsko, Director of Advancement at HomeCare & Hospice and a proud Olean native.
Fun fact: I’m the 5th of 6 kids, which basically makes me the real-life version of Bobby Brady—minus the shag haircut. (If you’re under 40, Google it. You’re welcome.) ??
This year, I'm thrilled to take part in our Hospice Hope Walk Run Bike event—for the very first time!
I've launched our Senior Team Pledge Page, where my fellow senior team members and I are aiming to raise $2,501 of our overall $5,000 goal. Why $2,501? Because we like to aim high… and keep it interesting!
Meet My Crew
My husband TY and I raised four amazing kids in Olean:

-
Melanie and Tony are in Tampa with pups Milo and Stella
-
Mackenzie, Matt, and our grandson Dax (2.5) live nearby—along with our oversized fur grandbabies, Sawyer and Piper, the Great Danes
