[Cuga] Jefferson Lab mourns Patricia Solvignon-Slifer - a message from Karl Slifer

[Lorelei Chopard]

The Jefferson Lab Physics Community is saddened to pass on a brief statement
from Karl Slifer below. We will miss Patricia's positive and caring 
outlook on life, her
friendly character, and her both leading and collaborative work as a 
scientist.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Patricia Solvignon-Slifer passed peacefully this weekend. She was with 
those who loved her. It is difficult to convey the deep sadness that her 
death brings, so I'd prefer to dwell on how she brightened the lives of 
those around her just a little every day.  She lived her life well, and 
her unflinching optimism taught us how to love life as it is, with good 
and bad.

She was an amazing wife, a loving mother and also a formidable 
scientist.   She was proud of her appointment as JLab staff scientist.  
Her bridge position with UNH  was extremely productive, and was 
recognized by the DOE with an Early Career Award. She was lead 
spokesperson for several 'high impact' experiments at Jefferson Lab, and 
contributed to the Long Range Plan for Nuclear Science.

Following Patricia's wishes, there was a small private service on 
Saturday.  In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Patricia's 
Live & Learn Kid Fund <https://www.gofundme.com/PatriciaLiveLearn>.
