Ann Weick

My deepest condolences. I did not know Ann personally, but she was a mentor from afar, though her writing. I had written to her when I was writing my doctoral dissertation, since I was citing her work all over it, just to tell her that her capacity to cut through professional rhetoric and get to the heart of things while still retaining theoretical sophistication tied my work together so well. She wrote me a very gracious, supportive letter, not even knowing me, cheering me on to finish my...

Ann provided inspirational leadership to the KU School of Social Welfare. Her conceptual work on the strengths perspective was ground breaking and is still shaping social work education and practice. Personally, her approach to social work education was a major factor in my decision to join the faculty, and the mentoring she provided made it possible for the School's faculty to thrive. It was a privilege to know her and I will always be grateful I had a chance to work with such a brilliant...

Ann was a powerful, graceful intellect who instilled goodness in everything and everyone she touched. Thank you. Rest peacefully now. Your mark remains, but you will be missed

Ann was such a delight to be around. Shelly and I always enjoyed our visits with Ann; even though we were so limited from being with Ann, because of the distance between us. The world is much better because of people like Ann.

When I learned from Jerry, Ann's brother, that Ann had died, a flood of memories came back to me. Ann's mother, Cecelia, was my great aunt and I lived with their family for my high school years. I remember family dinners with lively conversation and lots of laughter. Ann brought me back a beautiful photo album with a copper embossed cover from her Peace Corp days in Turkey and I still cherish it. Our lives went different directions, Ann to Kansas and Social Work and I to British Columbia...

Learning today of Ann's passing was a shock. Although I had not seen her in many years, I remember her so clearly and so fondly from when we both were new at KU. She was a truly fine person whom I am glad to have known. Very sorry for the loss to her family and the world. Godspeed, Ann.

My condolences to Ann's family and friends. Sorry to hear of her passing. I worked at the School if Social Welfare as an administrative assistant, and Ann was one of the kindest and helpful ladies that I got to meet.

God bless you.

We are very sorry to learn of the passing of Ann, But very grateful for her service to our nation as a Peace Corps volunteer in Turkey.

Our Condolences,

The National Peace Corps Association

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