Josephine Lutz died on July 16, 2009. She enjoyed her work as a hospital supervisor and nursing instructor at Cape Palmas Hospital in Liberia, West Africa, and teaching at San Diego State University, the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and the University of Texas at Austin. Her research increased our understanding of amino acid transport in brain tissues; the effects of the acid-base composition of foods on calcium metabolism; and the genetic relationships of bone density between mothers and their daughters.
