Comments on: Remembering Dr. Elizabeth Cummins Vonalt https://news.mst.edu/2024/11/remembering-dr-elizabeth-cummins-vonalt/ Your source for the latest from Rolla Tue, 26 Nov 2024 13:07:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.7 By: Merrie Harrington https://news.mst.edu/2024/11/remembering-dr-elizabeth-cummins-vonalt/#comment-449521 Tue, 26 Nov 2024 13:07:22 +0000 https://news.mst.edu/?p=51980#comment-449521 I gasped when I read this; I always loved Elizabeth Ann (Liz)!
She was married to my cousin Larry Vonalt. At family gatherings, I fondly remember her lovely generous smile and gentle peaceful nature. I appreciate the academic information about her. She never heard her boast about her accomplishments. What a wonderful woman!
May God bless her soul. Hold close those of us who love her and are grieving.

She was an excellent teacher, and this interesting course offering provided a nice balance to my days otherwise full of engineering classes. I’m so saddened to hear of her passing, and send my condolences to her family and friends.

I’m the sort time I knew you I came to consider you a grandma figure. You had such a beautiful smile and sweet personality. You are loved by many and missed by all.

For the books assigned, she accepted my critical and glowing papers about them equally. My favorite book from the list was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Canticle_for_Leibowitz . I liked it so much that I have suggested it to others to read.

As life goes on and death comes to all, more and more of my teachers have passed. 🙁

Every time I am notified of one that I recognize, I reflect on something that I learned from them.
