Our alumni have asked Oberlin to share news of classmates passing in a more timely way, a request that can’t often be accommodated in OAM, which publishes three times a year. Moving forward, we will link to online obituaries published by a newspaper, funeral home, or legacy website in a dedicated website page. This will offer readers a more timely announcement and a more complete picture of the lives and accomplishments of our deceased community members.
Going forward, please submit death notices by emailing alum.mag@oberlin.edu with the link to a published online obituary or a letter confirming the date of death. Please type “Losses” in the subject line and include the class year of the deceased. You can also mail a printed obituary to:
