HONOLULU--January 6, 2009--Funeral arrangements have been finalized for Dr. Mary Civille (Sue) Wesselkamper, Chaminade University's eighth and longest serving president. To celebrate her life, these events will be held:

Wesselkamper died peacefully on January 3, surrounded by family and friends in the comfort of her home. She had taken a medical leave of absence from Chaminade in fall 2008. In December, Chaminade University conferred upon her its degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa, in recognition of her unparalleled accomplishments during her 13-year tenure at Chaminade.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to Chaminade University for the endowed scholarship established in Dr. Wesselkamper's name or to the Kaiser Permanente Employee Welfare Fund.
