Dear family and friends of Persis Rutledge De La Mare,
The University of Portland School of Nursing extends our condolences to you as you say goodbye to this gracious woman and nursing educator. I have shared the news with the current faculty and remarked that she is one of the now-invisible shoulders that we stand on to do our work. Blessings to you all. Thank you for sharing her with UP for those years. Joanne Warner, Dean of the School of Nursing
