NANCY DUBLER

I saw something about Bioethics in my email feed and immediately thought of Nancy Dubler. I looked her up to see if she was still working and to my astonishment I read that she passed last year. I worked with Nancy in the early 90's, as her secretary, and I absolutely loved her. I got to meet her husband, Walter, as well, and he was lovely. I never forgot my time with Nancy and often thought of her over the years. I left to raise my family but I always remember my time as her secretary...

When I ran the Federal organ transplant program, Nancy was one of my go to medical ethicists. Sorry to hear of her passing. She will be missed in the medical community..You don't know me, but I bet I am in her contact list...Judy Braslow

My condolences. Just read the lovely article in The Times this morning. I was a student of Walter Dubler´s over 50 years ago.

Nancy was a Harvard Law School class mate and friend. She was a wonderful lady. My condolences to her family. Steven Grand-Jean

For those of us who worked at the AIDS Center at Montefiore-Einstein during the 1980s and 1990s, Nancy was more than a treasured colleague. She was a port in the unending storm: lucid, sensible, compassionate, rational, sympathetic, ingenious, supportive, always available, always present. We all knew how immensely lucky we were to have her in our world. I treasure her memory.

When Great Trees Fall by Maya Angelou When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. We breathe, briefly. Our eyes, briefly, see with a hurtful clarity. Our memory, suddenly sharpened, examines, gnaws on kind words unsaid, promised...

I had the privilege of knowing Nancy on a professional and academic level. She was brilliant and an expert on all things medical ethics. I learned so much from her when she taught her Bioethics Mediation training to health care professionals. My ears were glued to her every word. Deeply inspired by her passion, compassion, honesty and practical approach to help us work with complex moral dilemmas and more specifically to end of life care. Nancy will live on. I thank her for all that I learned...

From here i Bloomington, N, I deeply mourn Nancy's death. Sh was as warm and funny as she was smart, and her love for Walter and her extended family couldn't have been deeper. I have memories of many wonderful Shabbat meals and conversations at her apartment. She was an amazing friend and I'll miss her a lot.
