We give thanks for the life of Rev. Constance Fern Parvey, who died on Saturday, May 21, 2011. One of the first women students at Harvard Divinity School and the first woman ordained in the Lutheran church in New England, Connie served as associate pastor of UniLu and Lutheran chaplain at MIT from 1972 to 1978, and returned to the Lutheran-Episcopal Ministry at MIT as Lutheran chaplain from 1996 until her retirement in 2001. Our thoughts and prayers are with the worldwide community of friends who grieve her death, even as we give thanks to God for her extraordinary life.
Please see Connie's page of the UniLu website for more information, and share your memories here.
