Ägyptenreiseforum Isis & Osiris

It is with great regret that we announce the death of Ms. Susan
Weeks, wife of Egyptology Professor Emeritus Kent Weeks.

Susan received a Bachelor of Arts in graphic arts from the University
of Washington. She and Kent met while working on the Nubian
Salvage Project in Upper Egypt. In addition to being one of the
foremost archaeological illustrators of the past half-century, she has
built a career as one of the best general field archaeologists in Egypt,
having worked on sites all over the country, both with her husband and
as a specialist called by other teams. Members of the AUC community
who knew and worked with Susan will always remember her sly wit
(which her quiet demeanor never succeeded in obscuring), her keen
and penetrating intelligence, and most of all the immense care and
concern that she devoted to her friends, colleagues and students.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her two children,
Emily and Christopher, and one grandchild.

Those wishing to send condolences may do so by email care of
magdiali@aucegypt.edu, Dr. Weeks's assistant.

There will be a memorial service at AUC's Oriental Hall on Tuesday,
December 15th at 4:00 pm.
