[Colorado-Talk] A Death in the Family

[julie hunter]

Dear NFB Family:
It is with profound sadness that I share the news that our daughter, Lauren
Hunter, also known by her married name, Doula Jarboe, passed away on
Monday, July 14, 2025.  She was born with Alstrom's Syndrome, an insidious
condition that over the course of her 48 years caused the loss of her
vision, hearing, kidney function, and finally her ability to breathe.
Through it all she met the challenges with courage and determination.  Our
thanks to the NFB and the Colorado Center for the Blind for the guidance,
support and understanding that allowed her to live a full and independent
life.  Our thanks also go to Wesley Jarboe, her husband and partner in
life, who assisted her with handling her complex health situation in the
last few years.  A memorial service may be held in the future, but is not
currently planned.
Best Wishes. Julie and Bob Hunter
