Wesley Theological Seminary: Dr. Mary Alice Douty Edwards, professor emerita of Christian education passed away on July 10 at age 100.

We are mourning the loss of Dr. Mary Alice Douty Edwards, professor emerita of Christian education, who passed away on July 10 at age 100.

She taught at Wesley from 1957 until 1983. She served as interim dean when Dr. Phil Wogaman stepped down. President Doug Lewis remembers her dedication to her students, her love of the institution and her firm resolve.

She was the last surviving faculty member who taught in Westminster, Maryland before the seminary moved to Washington in 1958. "It was a smaller group in those days. But, like our faculty today, Mary Alice exemplified the essential quality of this community: the care professors have for their students," says Wesley President David McAllister-Wilson.

There will be a service celebrating Dr. Mary Alice Edward's life at Wesley's Oxnam Chapel on Tuesday, September 2 at 4:30 p.m. We hope you can join us for this service.
