"Ithaca Is A Leafy And Calm City"

A memorial service for Caroline Coffey was held in Sage Chapel on Saturday. The Irish Times reports:
Coffey attained her PhD at Cornell and then taught at St Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, before returning to Cornell to take up a research position, working on stem cell research and a cure for brain cancer. She had “phenomenal energy,” and was a ringleader when it came to social events, said Dr David Russell, chair of the microbiology and immunology department at Cornell.
It seems that the murder took place exactly one month after they celebrated their marriage in Costa Rica.
