Deborah Pellow

I'm just crushed ....Deborah you were an amazing instructor and a kind-hearted soul. Thanks for your mentorship and encouragement over the years. You will be missed.

I admired Deborah's energy, good humor and generosity of spirit. She brought her intelligence and enthusiasm to the Board of Directors of Syracuse Friends of Chamber Music. I will miss her dearly.

Mark and I will miss Deborah´s passion and energy. She is one of our few SU colleagues who is also our friend. Rest in Peace

I was a boyfriend and friend in our teenage years in Philadelphia. I remember her sweetness and smile . Her sense of humor.which I treasure.

I will be forever grateful for Deborah´s wise and kind mentorship on various university committees. I am glad we had time for a winter puppy play date with Morie and my dog Chara last winter and I am sad that our planned one for summer will not happen. The combination of her energy and compassion and courage to speak truth to power in a respectful and logical way earned her the respect and friendship of so many. Thank you Deborah. You are sorely missed.

Deborah was a person of wit and charm, and a fierce intelligence. She was a true friend over the last 40 years. She accomplished so much as a researcher, writer, and mentor---emphasizing substance and thoughtfulness. She did not suffer fools gladly, but she didn't have a trace of superiority in her manner and conversation. We greatly enjoyed restaurants, and were planning to go out to dinner on 6/20/25. Alas, we shall toast her in the felt absence. In the words of another immortal,...

She was so nice she would buy her fresh seafood from us. And was a pleasure to talk to and know we will miss her smile and laughter..

Wishing all who were blessed to know and interact with Deborah, peace in the memories created and shared.
