This appeared in the San Jose Mercury News on Tuesday 20 May 2003.
FORBES, Dr. Kristi Lin Chrispell - March 11, 1971-April 27, 2003 The multi-talented Kristi was tragically taken from those who love her on April 27th. She is survived by her loving husband, George Dunfield, her father, David Chrispell, her brother Kenneth Chrispell, her mother Deborah Kjornsberg, and many other family and friends. Native of Busti, NY, the brilliant 32-year-old scientist had recently completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Stanford University's Department of Developmental Biology where she was the recipient of a National Research Science Award fellowship grant. Previously, she received her Doctoral degree in Genetics at Harvard University, and her Bachelor's degree in Chemistry at Wells College, where she graduated summa cum laude. She was the 1989 Class Valedictorian at Southwestern Central High School and a National Merit Scholar. Kristi was an exceptional researcher, studying both the cell-cycle of caulobacter and the fission yeast, S. pombe. Her publications in "Genetics and Nature" helped establish the role of a DNA-replication-sensitive checkpoint in the cell-cycle of yeast. She also published a review of these checkpoints in "The Yeast Nucleus". Her many interests included being an avid skier and violinist-member of the San Francisco Peninsula Orchestra and formerly of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra in Boston. During middle and high school she was part of the Lakewood Suzuki Strings. She was active in the Society of Creative Anachronism in both the Bay Area and Boston, where her many skills and sweet presence will be greatly missed. Kristi will be remembered dearly for her breadth of knowledge and intelligence; her wit and superb sense of humor; and her generous and kind nature. A memorial service will be held locally in mid-June. Please contact Dunfield@geologist.com for further information about this event. Donations in her memory can be made to the following: The Wells College Bell Tower by mailing to Wells College Office of Development, Aurora, NY 13026 and including Kristi's name with your donation or by calling 315-364-3419 or The American Diabetes Association by mailing to Always and Forever Memorial and Honor Program, Attn: ADA Web, PO Box 2680, North Canton, OH 44720 and including Kristi's' name with your donation or calling 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383).
