Helen Trugman In Memoriam

Abstract

The untimely death of Helen Trugman on September 13, 2012 from cancer, just four days short of her fiftieth birthday, was a brutal shock for those who knew her closely, even though the sad event was not wholly unexpected. Helen had undergone a serious operation two years earlier, but in the fall of 2011 she became ill again, and by spring 2012 it became clear that her chances of recovery were minimal.
