In Memory Of...
INPEA Remembers, 2022
Elizabeth Podnieks, Past VP and WEAAD Founder
Very, very sadly, Elizabeth Podneiks died recently. The obituary wonderfully captures her many contributions to the field of elder abuse, including a recent book with co-authors Georgia Anetzberger, and Pamela Teaster.
Gerry's was a strong and committed voice, as seen most recently in his work with WHO, for the international effort to prevent family violence and especially elder abuse. His enormous contribution to the field of Elder Abuse was well known not only in the UK but all over the world.
The plaque is installed outside the entrance to the ward where Gerald was consultant at The Royal London Hospital Mile End (London). (Actual Size - 420mm x 300mm - approx. 16.5 inches x 11.8 inches)
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the the death of Anne Angel, member founder of INPEA, one of our two North American Board Representative Members.
Anne passed away on Saturday July 5, in Toronto, Canada, following a short illness over the last few months. Anne was magnificent lady, very supportive to everyone who had the chance to work with her, and did a great deal from her position to help and enhance the INPEA Network from the very start in Adelaide, Australia, 1997.
She was a wonderful mother and wife, had a great sense of humour, was a very special cook and was a strong and committed person to everything she thought, believed and worked for. She was a very much loved and appreciated friend, for everybody who had the opportunity to know her well.
Her death is a huge and unexpected loss and we are going to miss her a lot.
Dr Lia Susana Daichman
INPEA President
It is with profound sadness that we must inform the members of INPEA's international family of our loss of our dearly beloved, Susana Aguas, INPEA Regional Representative for Latin America and the Caribbean, on October 11, 2008. President Lia Daichman, Susana's lifelong friend and colleague, is creating a memorial tribute to Susana and her work on behalf of older persons in Argentina, Latin America, and the Caribbean, which will become a permanent part of INPEA. We ask friends and colleagues who wish to help us memorialize Susana's many accomplishments, to send them to Lia liadaichman@fibertel.com.ar so they may be posted on INPEA's Website and shared with Susana's family and loved ones. (Photos are also welcome).
A Great Loss:
