Death of Dolores Shapiro

Dolores A. Shapiro, administrative assistant to several past executive directors of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI), died on September 4, at the age of 61.

She worked at LDI since October 1978 and was "a great source of inspiration, fun, encouragement, and professional knowledge," said a colleague in reporting her death. "Always full of life and laughter--one of the last free spirits. She will be remembered as a wonderful human being who deeply touched everyone she came in contact with. Dolores will be sorely missed."

She is survived by her daughter, Laurie Fernandez; brother, Richard Kocsis; sister, Helen Wrzesniewski and one grandson, John Fernandez. Contributions may be made to The Hospice of Delaware Valley, 431 S. Walnut St., Kennett Square, PA 19348.
