Find Dr. Klotman's message below.

It is with great sadness that I write to inform you of the untimely passing of Judy Evans, administrative coordinator in the Department of Medicine Office of Research Administration, this morning. 

Judy started working at Duke University in 1994, and came to the Department of Medicine in 2007 to manage our space.  I know many of you interacted with Judy as she made the rounds of the Department’s widespread lab and office space. Judy was a valued member of our team, and she will be greatly missed by us all.

A memorial service will be held Friday, April 15 at 2 p.m. at Brooks & White Chapel in Roxboro, NC. The family will receive friends following the service.

The Duke Personal Assistance Service is available if you would like to speak with someone about this loss. See https://www.hr.duke.edu/pas/grief.html

For any immediate space/facilities needs, contact Laurianne Torres, director of research administration (laurianne.torres@duke.edu or 919-684-0676).

Please keep Judy’s family and friends in your thoughts as they go through this difficult time.
