Blanche Goldberger Canter ’42 died on March 19. Mom had a marvelously full and rewarding life, leaving a legacy of four children, eight grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and an array of dear friends—all devoted to her in every way. She was admired for her elegance and keen interest in everyone and everything. Until her sudden passing, she lived at New Bridge, near Wellesley, enjoying bridge, book club, exercise, and academic courses—always active and ever learning. With my sister, Liz Canter Levy ’72, she looked forward to attending her 70th reunion. She will be lovingly remembered by us all. Jane Canter Loeffl er ’68 Doris Levy Hallowitz ’44 died on March 29. Our mother was a highly intelligent, well educated, adventurous woman who loved music, gardening, and social-justice issues. She raised two children in Stamford, Conn., and subsequently lived in Michigan, New Mexico, and

California. After obtaining her undergraduate degree at Wellesley, she went on to earn a master’s at Columbia and her Ph.D. at New York University. In her later years, she became a world traveler, with stops in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. While deeply saddened by her loss, we are comforted in knowing that she led a full life and is now at peace. Carol Hallowitz John Hallowitz Millicent Cotter Hogan ’47 died on March 1. Wellesley was a touchstone for Millicent; from New Hampshire to Florida and Kentucky to California, she kept track of her family (four children and seven grandchildren) and her Wellesley friends. She suffered from a broken leg in 2010 and never regained complete mobility. She died peacefully in an assisted-living facility. Her greatest talent was for friendship. For the past 30 years, she and Jim made me a part of their family—Sunday dinners every week, family
holidays, and concerts. Wellesley meetings, boat parade parties, and weddings. We had lots of good times. She will be greatly missed. Nancy Farr Fulmer ’47 Audrey Chamberlain Foote ’48 died on April 3. She was a beautiful woman, a pure spirit. A serene, loving mother of four, and a vegetarian from age 10. She adored teaching and, though just married, got a Harvard M.A. in 1949, finally adding a Ph.D. at Columbia in her late 50s. In print (Atlantic Monthly, Washington Post) and action (PETA volunteer), she demonstrated her lover’s quarrel with the Creator about a world where Lion had to eat Lamb to live, and women, thanks to biology and men, were denied careers outside the home. She died at home after 10 years of Alzheimer’s and two of cancer, elegant despite pain that painkillers never quite killed. Timothy Foote Helen Arnstein Weinberg ’49 died on April 20. She taught literature, composition, and art criticism for 50 years at the Cleveland Institute of Art and was involved in the art scenes in Cleveland, New York, and East Hampton, N.Y., where she summered since 1970. She was a patron of the arts with a fine eye, and her homes were filled with beautiful objects. Her sense of style and her independent spirit were guiding forces in her life. She never shied away from speaking up for what she believed or fighting for the well-being of those she loved. Janet Weinberg Hugh Weinberg John Weinberg Jane Burrell Lacy ’49 died at home on Nov. 13, 2011, surrounded by family, as she had been in life. She had a long, happy marriage to Ben; children; grandchildren; and many friends. Jane dearly loved Wellesley and her classmates. At her 55th reunion, she scooped up my 7-month-old and ran to the table of ’49ers with her youngest grandchild. I found them much later smiling broadly. Jane was the consummate Wellesley woman: smart, funny, and fully engaged. She was a great friend and mentor to me and the best possible mother-in-law. We miss her every day. Karen Doeblin ’84 Nancy Aitken Corbett ’50 died on Nov. 15, 2011. It was my great fortune to be assigned as Nancy’s freshman roommate. We studied hard, laughed a lot, and pretty much grew up together for four years at Wellesley and thereafter. She was smart—she composed crossword puzzles—could make devilish comments, and was a fan of musical comedies. She will be remembered for her warm friendship and wonderful sense of humor by all who knew her. Patricia John Cochran ’50
