Dear INFOODS Community:
I'm re-sending this notice again to correct the spelling of Ms. Stumbo's
last name (my apologies for this error!) and to update the link on Paypal
as a member has mentioned having problem with it.
Kind regards,
Winnie
Phyllis Joy Stumbo
Dear INFOODS
Community,
It is with great
sadness that I send
the heartbreaking
news of the passing
of Phyllis Joy
Stumbo. Phyllis died
Tuesday evening,
having suffered a
fall after voting at
her local courthouse.
She never regained
consciousness, and
passed away that
night.
It is truly an
understatement to say
that Phyllis will be
deeply missed by all
who her knew, and her
loss will be keenly
felt within the
nutrient databank
community. Phyllis
has played an
integral role in the
National Nutrient
Databank Conference
(NNDC) from the early
days, and was
recognized for her
tireless efforts with
a Lifetime
Achievement Award at
the 2014 meeting.
Over the years,
Phyllis served as
chair of the
Executive Committee,
chaired numerous
conferences, was the
guest editor for four
editions of the
conference
proceedings, served
as historian, and
contributed her time,
enthusiasm and
expertise in so many
ways.
Arrangements are
being handled by the
Fry Funeral Home (
http://www.fryfuneral
home.com/). Cathy
Chenard is working
with the Journal of
the Academy of
Nutrition and
Dietetics to publish
Phyllis’ obituary.
If you would like to
add your personal
comments about your
work with Phyllis,
please contact Cathy
directly (email:
Catherine-chenard@uio
wa.edu). Phyllis’
family requests that
in lieu of flowers,
memorial donations
may be made to the
Tipton Ambulance
Service, 407 Lynn
St., Tipton, IA 52772
(
tiptonambulance@tipto
niowa.org).
Members of the NNDC
have expressed an
interest in making a
donation in Phyllis’
memory. If you would
like to join us, you
may make a donation
through the NNDC
PayPal account (
PayPal_NNDC) or by
mailing a donation to
Rose Tobelmann
( address: National
Nutrient Databank
Conference, attn:
Rose Tobelmann,
Treasurer, 415
Sycamore Lane,
Plymouth, MN 55441).
Please include a note
that the donation is
in memory of Phyllis.
We are also
considering other
ways to preserve
Phyllis’ legacy
within the NNDC to be
announced soon.
On behalf of the NNDC
Executive Committee,
Thea Palmer Zimmerman
NNDC Executive
Committee Chair
