Julia Evelyn Osborne
May 18, 1926 — November 14, 2016

In addition, she pioneered a primary care nurse practitioner program at SU with Rosemary Lape and with her colleague Bobbi Harris. After her retirement, she was a dedicated grandmother and a volunteer to the Sunshine Horses organization.
Evelyn's values were family, family and family. Her grandchildren's lives were enriched by her passion for classical music, opera and ballet. Guests to her home were often treated to deep meaningful discussions on politics, medicine and progressive social issues. She enjoyed time in her garden, or playing her piano, often surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Her family and friends always saw her home as a place of warmth and love.
