In Sympathy
| |
 B. Charles (Chuck) Ames '50 died on Sept. 22 at age 92 at his home in Cleveland. Read an obituary.
Chuck's vision and love for Illinois Wesleyan University will continue to impact Titans for generations to come. Together with his wife Joyce "Jay" Eichhorn Ames '49, their generous support included the largest gift in Illinois Wesleyan history – an endowment gift valued at $25 million to launch the Transforming Lives campaign in 2009. Their support also enabled construction of The Ames Library, endowed student scholarships, and expanded the Joyce Eichhorn Ames School of Art building. Read a tribute from President Eric Jensen.
Betty Stoutenborough Ritchie-Birrer '47 died on Sept. 27. Read an obituary.
Betty was selected as the 2017 Alumni Loyalty Award winner and was looking forward to coming to Homecoming this year to receive the award. She was a generous supporter of the recent Transforming Lives Campaign, with gifts including a classroom in State Farm Hall, an endowed professorship that was awarded to Professor William Munro, an endowed student scholarship, and the first endowed scholarship for study abroad. Betty and her husband, Ivan Birrer, were friends of the University for many years and regularly attended the annual Springfield Alumni Connection.
