Remembering Dr. Carmel Bitondo Dyer
From UTHRO's Executive Committee: There was great sadness when the UTHRO family heard about the passing of Dr. Carmel Dyer on May 4 at only 62. We offer our deepest condolences to her family with this loss. Dr Dyer was one of our most fervent supporters and we dedicated our Endowment supporting the Consortium on Aging.
In addition to the article in our May 2021 Evergreen newsletter we have included tributes from some colleagues and friends of Dr. Dyer in this linked document: Carmel Dyer Remembered
