Prof. Edna Viruell-Fuentes Death | Prof. Edna Viruell-Fuentes Obituary – Prof. Edna Viruell-Fuentes passed away on Sunday, 23rd of August 2020 in Urbana, IL. Edna was an all-around wonderful person, a great colleague, and a brilliant scholar. Edna worked in the field of health care policy for a number of years before returning to school to work on a PhD in Health Behavior and Health Education at the University of Michigan. After graduation, Edna was a Yerby Fellow and W.K. Kellogg Scholar in Health Disparities for two years at the Harvard School of Public Health.
According to reports, Edna started out as an assistant professor and was subsequently promoted to associate professor with tenure. Edna was a stellar researcher who had developed a national and international reputation as a leading scholar of race, health, and Latina/o immigration. Recently, Edna had been working on a project that focused on the relation between health and transnationalism. She is survived by her husband, Sunil Nepali; three brothers (Edgar, Eloy, and Ernesto Viruell) and their families; and her mother, Maria Amparo Viruell. Our deepest condolences go out to Edna’s husband Sunil and her family. Her absence will leave a deep void in her department. We already miss her greatly.
