***************

Dear colleagues,

It is with utter shock and deep sadness that we write to inform you that
our friend and esteemed colleague, Amy Williamsen, passed away unexpectedly
last Monday, April 22nd.


We are filled with admiration for Amy’s many contributions as a scholar, a
teacher, a mentor and an administrator, and we are grateful for Amy’s
extraordinary presence and generosity: for a smile and a sparkle that
reached from her eyes down to her toes, and a steely will that was just as
present and powerful. She will indeed be missed.


Please find below information we have received from her home institution,
University of North Carolina, Greensboro.


*Compartimos con conmoción y pena las tristes noticias del fallecimiento
inesperado de nuestra amiga y colega estimada Amy Williamsen, el lunes
pasado, 22 abril.*


*Celebramos las contribuciones de Amy como investigadora, profesora,
mentora y administradora, y pensamos con gratitud en su espíritu y su
generosidad. Se extrañarán tanto su sonrisa calurosa, que brillaba desde
sus ojos hasta los pies, como sus agallas en la órbita profesional. *


*A continuación, se encuentra una comunicación enviada por la Universidad
de North Carolina, Greensboro.  *


>From Lisa Janvari, UNC, Greensboro:

I've been in conversation with Amy's family and they have decided that a
service for her in Greensboro is not possible. Logistically it is just too
much for them. They will plan a memorial service for her in Tucson most
likely at the end of summer.


They will be establishing a scholarship in her name. More details will
follow as things get put into place.


If you would like to send expressions of sympathy you may do so to Amy's
sister Tora Williamsen-Berry at 724 Rickets Lane, Ardmore, OK 73401. They
have requested no flowers please. Tora will share what is received with
Amy's mother Clara.


Please share this information as appropriate. I will keep everyone informed
as I learn more.


With great sadness in our hearts,

Emily Francomano, Elizabeth Wright, Leah Middlebrook, Ignacio López, Bruce
Burningham, and Carolyn Nadeau
