In Memoriam: Dr. Rachel E. Harding

It is with deep sadness that I inform you that Dr. Rachel E. Harding, daughter of Dr. Vincent and Rosemarie Harding, has transitioned from this life to life beyond this world.  She joins a host of ancestors, especially her parents who have patiently awaited her arrival.

In 2012, Rachel organized and led the Society Study Tour to Brazil.  Her knowledge and connections made for a once in a lifetime experience.  A scholar and initiated Priestess of Candomblé, her contributions to our Society will be deeply missed.

She passed while in Brazil.  Funeral services will be held there.  The family has expressed a desire for Iliff School of Theology to host a memorial service to remember and to celebrate Rachel's life.  We will share more information as details become available.

All good to you.
