Here is a link to her obituary –
Hi Class of ’70!
Just a reminder that today is All In For Wesleyan! This is an important day for IWU! But All In for Wesleyan is more than a one-day giving campaign – it’s a day to celebrate Illinois Wesleyan and all of the things that make it special.
Many of you remember our 45th Reunion a couple of years ago

As we move toward our 50th reunion in 3 years, we want to support IWU now for all the good it has done for us in our lives and all the good memories we have from our years there.
I know that many of you wait to give money until this day. As a special bonus, any gift you make today at www.iwu.edu/all-in will be matched dollar for dollar (up to $100,000!) by Dorothea Bilder ’62, doubling your impact on Illinois Wesleyan!
If you are into social media, you can show your Titan Pride by making a gift and encourage others to participate during All In using #AllInForWesleyan.
Please get involved and stay tuned to the fun and excitement throughout the day.
Your gifts make a difference for IWU students!
