Ana-Elisa Armstrong de Almeida (January 25, 1968– March 1, 2012)
Ana-Elisa Armstrong de Almeida, a long time member of the School of Child and Youth Care community, passed away at home with tranquil dignity after courageously battling cancer for the past 18 months. Ana-Elisa was excited to discover the CYC program after years of post-secondary education and was admitted as an undergraduate student in 2004. Her passion for the discipline and brilliance of mind carried her on to complete her Master's degree in CYC as well. Ana-Elisa shared her knowledge, experience, and perspectives with our student community as a guest speaker, teaching and research assistant and later as a sessional instructor. She loved the work she was doing at the Mary Manning Centre and in the community; her passions, abilities, skills, and playful personality will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. The rich tribute provided by her colleagues at MMC is testimony, indeed, to the rare person that she was. (PDF Announcement)
