Suzanne Alele ’85

Body

OUR CLASSMATE Suzanne died on June 23, 1990, at the National Institutes of Health in Washington, D.C., after a courageous fight with cancer.

Suzanne was born in Nigeria, and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, where she was an accomplished athlete. She moved to Washington, D.C. as a teenager, and attended Walter Johnson High School, where she was a member of the track and swimming teams.

After graduation, Suzanne received her M.B.A. from the Univ. of Maryland, and worked as a computer specialist for the Federal Reserve.

Suzy was a free spirit at Princeton. She excelled as a biology major, managed the lightweight football team, ran track, saved people at the information center from computer center catastrophes, and was a member of Cap and Gown, the Third World Center, and the International Center.

The Class extends its sincere condolences to her father, Dr. Christopher Alele; her brother, Peter Alele, and all of her family and friends who loved her and benefited from her wondrous presence. We salute a remarkable member and friend.
