VIVIAN PAN Obituary

PAN--Vivian. Agnes Gund, founder of Studio in a School Association, its board of directors and staff, mourn the passing of their dear friend and board member, Dr. Vivian Pan. Vivian's leadership as former board chair and support of Studio's programs in New York City public schools and her connection and care in bringing the arts to children will be missed. We extend our sympathy to her husband Mark A. Norell, daughter Inga Norell, and her entire family. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to Studio in a School in memory of Vivian Pan.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I am saddened to learn of Vivian's passing. She was a person of uncommon breadth and depth: deeply intelligent, insightful, practical, with a sharp sense of humor. Sending my sincere condolences to her family.
