OT: LadyRU09’s Mother has Passed

[mkollar]

To all:

This is somewhat off-topic. However, I would like to make you aware that LadyRU09’s MOTHER,
Barbara Lapinski Tangel, DC'72, GS'74, and current Director, Didactic Program in Dietetics, has died.

Her daughter Kristin, COOK'09, is LadyRU09 here on this board. To say the least, this is a shock to those of us who have known both Kristin and Barbara. LadyRU announced this on her Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/kristinclaire732

As Lady noted, in her announcement: “She battled stage 4 breast cancer, among a host of other health problems. She was an extremely tough woman and had a lot of success in her life. Her family and friends will miss her.”

RIP Barbara Lapinski Tangel.

Never met her mom but I have met Kristin before. Very nice person, which I am sure she got from her mother.

Rest In Peace, Loyal Daughter.

Holy hell. I know that she was close to her mother from some of her posts in the past, about their times going to Rutgers games. I hope LadyRU09 is okay.

My wife went through the Bachelor's program for Dietetics at Rutgers (2nd career) and just got her Master's at the College of Saint Elizabeth. She thought the world of Barbara Tangel, always gave great advice. I just told her and she was shocked - she said she just saw her last year at a conference.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Tangel family. She was a great lady.

 

[RUBoken]

So sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong Kristin.

Thank you so much for your condolences! She would appreciate them!

I am very sorry for the passing of Barbara. My prayers go out to her, Kristin and their entire family. I see that Barbara graduated from Douglass in 1972. My wife also graduated in 1972 from Douglass. She was a Home Economics major. My wife passed away from cancer on May 1, 2014. It is not easy.

 

[e5fdny]

Thank you so much for your condolences! She would appreciate them!

That’s because she deserves them.

We talk a lot on here about what a Rutgers Man is but if there is such thing as a “Rutgers Dictionary” I think after reading your Mom’s obit we now know what the definition of a Rutgers Woman is...WOW.
