                                           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
