sad news

[Scott, Shelley]

Dear friends and colleagues,

 

I am very sorry to share with all of you the sad news that our CATR colleague, and my dear friend, Marlene Moser, passed away on Tuesday evening after a long battle with cancer.

Marlene had been a member of CATR since the early 1990s, serving as a TRIC editorial assistant and on the executive, and participating at many of our conferences. She was an associate professor at Brock University, and the following notice is from their website.

Marlene is survived by her husband, Philip, and their daughter CeCe, a large family and many friends.

It is with deep sadness and grief that we share with you the news of our dear colleague Marlene Moser's passing on the evening of December 21, 2010.

Marlene's courageous five year battle with breast cancer developed into metastasis this past summer.  Her condition started to deteriorate rapidly Monday morning and she was admitted to the Juravinski Hospital Tuesday morning and passed away peacefully Tuesday evening surrounded by all of her family.

Marlene has been a member of the Brock Community since 2000. During her tenure as professor, researcher, creator, Director and Chair she provided leadership and love to her colleagues and students in the Department of Dramatic Arts.  She was instrumental to the development of the Department as a site of luminous and rigorous investigation of theatre praxis.  Her mentorship of five colleagues through tenure and promotion is but one facet of her legacy to the future of our research, pedagogy, and community. Her presence in the burgeoning theatre scene of St. Catharines was only recently curtailed as she focused her creative energies to meet the challenge of cancer - the vision of her initiatives remains undiminished and in our hearts.

Marlene fought this cancer with such strength, courage and determination. The Department greatly mourns her passing.
