KILHAM'S LEGACY REMEBERED

Susan S. Kilham, Ph.D.

Susan S. Kilham, Ph.D., a leading scientist in aquatic biology and ecology and a dedicated supporter of Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE), passed away in April 2022 following a long battle with cancer. While PDE and the greater scientific community mourn her loss, Kilham’s dedication to science will live on through the work of others. Years before her passing, Kilham shared her estate plans with PDE, leaving a generous bequest to PDE in her will. The enduring legacy of Kilham’s generosity will go toward helping the organization’s work to connect people, science, and nature for a healthy Delaware River and Bay. PDE is deeply grateful to Kilham for her many years of service to PDE as a member of the board, the Science Technical and Advisory Committee, and as a champion to PDE and the estuary. Moreover, she will be remembered as a colleague, mentor, teacher, and friend.
