Greetings. My name is Roopali Garg and I went to MIT from 1987-1991.
I have an obituary that I wanted to disseminate to the relevant
people, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I thought I would
just e-mail the right lists and hope most people stayed on one list or
another. But, of course, that won't be true (I'm only on one of these
lists myself). So, please pass this on to other people and/or mailing
lists. (People who upkeep these lists: I chose one mailing list per
organization by a somewhat random guess: If there is a more
appropriate list for this, please forward it.) I apologize for the
impersonal nature of such a mass mailing, but I wanted to get the word
out. If you have any questions, you can e-mail me
(roopali@math.uchicago.edu) or Sabrina's brother, Albert
(goodman@bright.uoregon.edu).

Sabrina Joyce Goodman
November 19, 1967 - November 5, 1993
Sabrina Joyce Goodman lost her battle with cancer on November 5th at
2:00PM. She died peacefully among her family and friends at her home.
Sabrina was born in Pomona, California. She grew up in Southern
California, and graduated in 1986 from Marina High School, in
Huntington Beach. In her senior year there she was designated one of
20 Horatio Alger Scholars in the nation by the Hortio Alger
Association of Distinguished Americans. In 1990 she graduated from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA with dual
bachelor degrees in Cognitive Science and Mathematics. There she
lived in Fenway House, was active in the Experimental Studies Group,
Assassins Guild, Alpha Phi Omega, and the Tech Random Music
Ensemble. At the time of her death she was a student on medical leave
from the University of Rochester, where she had been pursuing a Ph.D.
in Psychology.
Sabrina's cancer started as a mole on her face. It was removed and
diagnosed as a melanoma in 1988. It first metatasized to a lymph node in
1990 and to her brain late in 1991. This plucky young woman endured five
conventional brain surgeries, and two out-patient stereotactic
radiosurgeries between October, 1991 and October, 1993.
She is survived by her mother, Julia Goodman, of Huntington Beach, CA; her
father, John Goodman, and his wife Pauline Merry, of Westminster, CA; her
brother, Albert Goodman, of Eugene, OR; her grandmother, Olive Goodman, of
Claremont, CA; and her grandfather, Gordon Eaker, of Houston, TX.
A memorial service is planned on December 5, 1993, at 3:00PM, in the
sanctuary of the Community United Methodist Church, 6662 Heil Avenue,
Huntington Beach. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made
in her name to one of the following four organizations:
The American Cancer Society Community United Methodist Church
