Alison Winter

Nearly 20 years ago I discovered that Alison & I were cousins (our great-grandfathers were brothers). I was going to be in Chicago for a few days, and we got in touch and planned to meet up. Somehow, that did not happen, and we fell out of contact. I found the old emails recently, and decided to try again. That is how I only today found out about her death. Reading the obituaries underlines what an amazing person she was, and I am all the more sad we never met. I cannot imagine what a hole...

I took Professor Winter's class in 2007 'Science in Victorian Britain' as an undergrad and thought of her and her teaching often on a recent trip to the Natural History Museum in London. She really brought the past, and the passion for scientific discovery to life, and even though I only took one class from her, I will always be grateful and remember her, especially in places of learning.

Allison was a student of mine when she was in the 8th grade at Tappan Junior High School in Ann Arbor. At that early stage she stood out as an exceptionally bright, interested and dedicated young person. I remember how she stayed after school day after day to work on special projects. She was always cheerful and fun to be around.
Later, I heard she was a professor at the University of Chicago where my granddaughter was considering attending. We got reacquainted and Allison was...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Alison was a blazing talent and a lovely person. May her memory be for a blessing.

I am sorry for your loss. May prayer comfort you.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray constantly."

Please accept my sincerest condolences. May God and your fond memories bring your family peace and comfort during this difficult time.
