Journal entry by Phoebe Chalk Wadsworth —
We are so very overcome with gratitude by the outpouring of support for our mother. She was a fantastic person who made an impact on many and will be missed not only by us and our family but by a community. Because of the health crisis, we will plan a memorial mass later this year when larger gatherings are able to take place safely.
An obituary is be placed in the paper this week and arrangements for everything are being taken care of by our friends at Carrillo's Tucson Mortuary. Since mom has passed we will cease using CaringBridge to post anything and will use the guestbook feature at https://www.carrillostucsonmortuary.com/ Special thanks to anyone who made tribute donations to CaringBridge during the last 6 days as that website helped us share important information with all of you.
We have received requests about how people can remember mom. We have decided to create the Anna Marie Chalk Endowment at the UA Foundation to continue her legacy. Our friends there have made a crowdfunding site to make this easier for people who want to honor AMC in lieu of flowers. The website is: https://crowdfund.arizona.edu/AnnaMarieChalk
We encourage anyone to post photos or messages on the guestbook page of Carrillo's website or send them directly to either of us as we are creating a video for the memorial. Many blessing and lots of virtual hugs. Thank you!
Phoebe and Laura
