I am so sorry to hear this and will keep you and your family in my thoughts. I never met your daughter, but I always enjoyed her perspective and posts on this list. My deepest condolences.

Subject: [Colorado-Talk] A Death in the Family

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
