Around Town: Professor Claudia Card lived good life, good death

Claudia Card, an internationally known UW-Madison professor and a leading expert in the philosophy of evil, died what she considered a “good” death. At a celebration of her life Sunday at the Pyle Center on campus, her niece, Melissa Card, 36, quoted from a post her aunt made on her online CaringBridge site four months ago, when she said that while everyone dies, not everyone is fortunate enough to have a good death.
