Remembrance

Ruth Bracey passed away on July 7, 2007, of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. She was a beautiful person and staff member in the Department of Economics and School of Journalism before her retirement in July 2006. She was also a dear friend to many. Born in Jacksonville, North Carolina, to Robert L. Bracey and Joan Silver, Ruth’s family moved to Clinton, South Carolina, where she grew up. She is survived by her partner, Bob McHugh, and her brother, Robert Bracey. Ruth referred to her journey with ALS as “an incredible teacher.” The grace and mindfulness of her transition touched all those who chose to accompany her during the year and a half since her diagnosis in 2006.
