Deborah Lynn Schade ’85

Body

DEBORAH DIED Jan. 18, 1990, at the age of 26.

Born in Mountain View, Calif., she graduated with honors from Await High School, where she was V.P. of the student body, and participated in Calif. junior State.

At Princeton, Deborah devoted her studies to politics and philosophy. She withdrew after sophomore year and later attended Columbia Univ.

Deborah will be remembered as a persistent questioner and thinker who sought truth and encouraged those around her to think about, question, and improve society. She was a true leader and a loving person, one who brought out the best in others and imbued them with a sense of purpose and confidence in themselves.

Deborah is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Schade; her brother, Henry III; and her sister, Tina Dollens. She will live forever in the hearts and minds of those who knew her. To all, we extend our heartfelt condolences.
