38th Annual Tree of Life Ceremony
Hosted by Partners In Home Care
Tuesday, December 9, 2025 | 5:30–8:00 PM
Missoula Children’s Theatre | 200 N Adams St, Missoula, MT
For nearly 40 years, the Tree of Life has brought our community together to honor loved ones who have passed and to celebrate the light that love leaves behind.
This year’s ceremony will feature heartfelt words of reflection, music, and a collective lighting of the Tree of Life, each light symbolizing the memory of someone deeply loved. Attendees are invited to dedicate a custom ornament in honor of a loved one. Ornaments will be placed on the Tree during the ceremony and can be taken home afterward as a keepsake of remembrance.
Following the ceremony, guests are welcome to stay for coffee, cocoa, cookies, and conversation as we share stories, connection, and comfort through the holiday season.
