of years? She passed away last week and the link to her obituary notice is below. She and I both started with the Social Work program when it was under the Sociology Department in 1993. She was a remarkable, caring faculty member, colleague, and friend.
She touched many lives and will be sadly missed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
