Lew & Betty Somers
Monell mourns the loss of Lewis & Elizabeth Somers, two of the Monell Center’s most ardent and long-term supporters, enthusiasts, and friends. They will be greatly missed.
Lew had been a member of Monell’s International Advisory Committee since its inception in the 1970s. Although neither he nor Betty were scientists, both took a lively interest in Monell’s research and how it applied to health and well-being. Lew also was always thinking of how best to communicate the Center’s mission to others. In 2008, he was presented with the first “Friend of Monell” award in recognition of his 40 years of service and support. Betty was present for the ceremony, along with their three children and their spouses.
Everyone at Monell extends our deepest sympathy to the extended Somers family
