Marlene Soulsby Ph.D.

I am very sorry for your loss. I felt great sadness about Marlene's passing combined with great gratitude for having known her through many years in the International Society for the Study of Time. When I just imagine her face, I can feel her warmth, humor, and hospitality. I also remember her support and advice during difficult years in my life, and the grace with which she endured difficulties in her own. Marlene's dedication to the vision and cause of ISST was so important and substantial...

Marlene was at the heart of the International Society for the Study of Time, and represented not only its intellectual adventurousness and its scholarly integrity but also its mysterious good fellowship, its collective sense of humor, its aesthetic perceptiveness and its gentleness of moral apprehension. It is heartbreaking to lose her, but I believe her qualities are now baked into our community.

The passing of Marlene is sad news indeed to everyone who knew her at ISST. We already had to miss her at our last conference in LA. Marlene was a long-standing member of our council and instrumental in establishing our journal KronoScope. She was a cherished presence at our conferences. I vividly remember how she came to our conference in Edinburgh in 2016 to say good-bye to ISST because of her deteriorating health. The way she did so very much embodied the intelligence, clarity, purpose,...

It was so sad to hear this news. I hope that her memory can provide consolation at this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. We who knew Marlene through the International Society for the Study of Time are mourning our dear friend and colleague. For nearly 30 years, Marlene contributed to the ISST, helping shape it into the vibrant interdisciplinary society that it is today. Although Marlene's contributions to the society as an editor, a council-member, and a time-scholar are impressive, her warm and engaging presence has been foremost in the minds of those who knew her. In tributes to...

I can still see Marlene outside of the gym with her class doing Tai Chi helping her students to focus their inner Chi. She was a terrific teacher and a great person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Marlene had an email address of ~ "Pilarcik1" . . . Her words to me were always light, bright, right and cherished. So I asked her once upon our times, "That address is because you're the first grandchild, the first cousin, right?" She took no hesitation -- Marlene style, of course -- and replied, "It's so you all won't forget." We'll never ever Pilarcik and Soulsby forget you, our genius, whiz, robust laughter and life gusto grabber, Marlene . . . our Pilarcik1. My heart aches for you...

She was a beautiful person. I will cherish my memories of us eating pizza at Nearra´s, talking about design, and many years as friendly neighbors.

Very sorry for your loss
