REMEMBERING RUTH YURCHUCK:
A few weeks ago Atlanta Affiliate lost a long-time very engaged member. Ruth Yurchuck, an honorary life member, lost her battle with failing health.
Ruth held a doctorate in nursing education from Columbia University Medical School. Until just a few years ago she was employed by Johns Hopkins University after retirement to help graduate nursing students with their dissertations.
As I was looking through the twenty years that I have been a member I noted the many leadership positions that Ruth filled. She served as co-president for three years. She was elected to the nominating committee five times. And, most amazing, she was our communications chair for 10 years—from 2013 to 2022. She was elected secretary twice and was part of many committees over many years.
Atlanta AAUW was important to Ruth, and she served long and well.
How we will miss her!
Ruth’s service is scheduled for Saturday, September 28 at 1:00 PM at St Luke’s Episcopal Church (435 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA, United States, Georgia). There will be a reception afterwards in the parish hall.
