JOANNE WILDER

I just came across this (not by accident, though): It Is Well Within My Soul, by Rev. Harold T. Lewis, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45368696-it-is-well-with-my-soul (pages 61-64).

I confess to having tears in my eyes throughout most of the early scenes in On the Basis of Sex, because they reminded me so much about Joanne's experience just a few years after that at the University of Maryland Law School, where there was a similar male:female ratio of students, comments such as You're taking the place that would have gone to someone now in Viet Nam, (Her response was always I wanted to go but they wouldn't let me.) and an experience similar to that of Ginsburg in applying for positions after law school.

Our dear friend, Lynne, has now joined you in eternity, 10/9/18.

I was honored to attend the Third Annual Joanne Ross Wilder Memorial Lecture, on the subject of domestic violence, delivered by Judge Jerry Bowles, on November 5, 2105 at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers in Chicago.

I was honored to attend the first Joanne Ross Wilder Memorial Lecture on November 7, 2013, entitled Forced Marriage in Our Backyard - The Role of Family Lawyers in its Eradication, Presented by Anne-Marie Hutchinson, OBE (London, UK).
The Joanne Ross Wider Memorial Lecture Series was established by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers Foundation in 2011.

My sincere condolences, Bruce and family. May your happy memories comfort you.

Dear Bruce and Family,

Please accept my deepest sympathy upon your loss of Joanne. As outstanding as she was as an attorney, she was an even better person.

I truly regret that I was not able to pay my respects in person at today's service, but after delivering the Eulogy at my Mother's funeral on Oct. 15, I tripped while stepping down from the podium and shattered my left hip when I landed on the Alter.

She will be greatly missed by her thousands of friends and colleagues. And, I believe, you will have many happy memories of Joanne to comfort you.

I have fond memories of Joanne and Bruce at the Churchill dinners. Joanne knew all of the great old Broadway songs and sang them with gusto at the piano. She was a lovely person. We will miss her.

Bruce, I will miss the good times shared with Joanne. She was a talented, funny lady who enjoyed and participated in life. I am so sad at her passing and wish you peace. Pam Noblit (Pittsburgh, PA)

Sympathy & kindest regards to Joanne's family & friends wherever they may be.
I left Pgh. 20 years ago, but have fond memories of an exceptionally fine lady. Amen to Jeff Pollock's thoughts & others. God bless one & all. Take care.

Our condolences to your entire family. The world will indeed be a lesser place for the loss of this great lady.

Mr. Wilder, It was a shock this morning to hear of your loss. I am very sorry. I attended Calvary at the same services as your wife, and sat with her on the Parish Council for a number of years. I have had so many good conversations with Joanne throughout that time, and I have always been so impressed with her thoughtfulness and caring.
