Daily News | Husband and 8-year-old son will collect the doctoral degree for their late wife and mother at Rutgers-Camden commencement
She hadn’t finished her dissertation when she died of cancer in March at age 38, but the faculty who worked with her decided she was such an outstanding student and was so close to her goal that she deserved it anyway.
“She spoke from personal experience and people listened to her and were helped by her,” Singley said.much of an obituary when his wife died and thought friends would want to know more, especially as he planned to get her degree. When her parents said, “This is my daughter,” and she was the only Asian girl in their white family, there was always a certain kind of feedback.She eventually connected with her biological family in Korea, though her mother had already died, Reed said. Her adoptive mother died before the couple had even met, he said.
They married in 2014, and soon had Liam. She became a stay-at-home mom, but still did some writing on the side. Around 2016, she got more interested in scholarly work on transracial adoption. “The whole time that she was out, she would reach out periodically and express how much she was looking forward to starting the program,” Silver said. “The Ph.D. program was a light that helped her get through that period.”
The school asked her husband how he would like to receive the degree. He could have picked it up or had it mailed, or he could walk across the stage, as his wife would have done.
