In our member newsletter, there is a volunteer section.  Perhaps if you had 
a volunteer article that monthly thanked volunteers, noted numbers of 
volunteer hours, new opportunities/invitations to people to volunteer, etc. 
you could also include a line in there acknowledging the passing of 
volunteers noting a number of hours.

As a side note, we do not currently do this at our institution.  However, I 
can see the importance of noting the passing of these vital members of our 
organizations.
