I will try to keep this page up-to-date as best I can.  The names and dates are approved by the Alumnae Association.  As each obituary is approved by the college, it will appear on this page in chronological order of passing.   If there is news that we can print now, go to Supporting Each Other<\/a>.  Suggestions are welcome.  Thanks for your patience.   Liz Hottel Barrett, Webmaster<\/p>\n
