Marko Sosič
Nepričakovano je udarila vest, da se je v tržaški bolnišnici poslovil zamejski gledališki in filmski režiser ter pisatelj Marko Sosič, ki je nedavno, v decembru, praznoval 62 let. Veliko je pisal romane in kratke zgodbe ter režiral za radio, gledališče in film. Njegova umetniška ustvarjalnost ga je odpihnila v vseslovenski in širši prostor, a je kljub temu vseskozi ostajal navezan na svoje domače okolje, na Opčine pri Trstu, kjer je odraščal in živel. Navezan je bil tudi na stvarnost slovenske narodne skupnosti v Italiji, do katere je bil zaradi tega tudi pogosto konstruktivno kritičen, so zapisali pri Primorskemu dnevniku. Rodil se je 22. decembra 1958 v Trstu. Študiral na Akademiji za gledališče in film v Zagrebu, kjer je leta 1984 diplomiral iz režije. Nato je dolga leta deloval po številnih slovenskih in italijanskih gledališčih, v letih 1991-94 je bil umetniški vodja Slovenskega narodnega gledališča v Novi Gorici, v letih 1999-03 in 2005-09 pa umetniški vodja Slovenskega stalnega gledališča v Trstu. Večkrat je opravljal delo selektorja slovenskega gledališkega festivala Borštnikovo srečanje in bil med drugim tudi selektor za Teden slovenske drame v Kranju. Znan je tudi po svojih proznih delih. Za svoj roman Balerina, balerina (1997) je tako dobil tržaško nagrado Vstajenje, z romanom pa se je uvrstil tudi v krog finalistov za nagrado Kresnik. V izboru za nagrado Kresnik so bili tudi Kratki roman o snegu in ljubezni, roman Tito, amor mijo, ki je bil nominiran tudi za nagrado Prešernovega sklada, ter roman Ki od daleč prihajaš v mojo bližino. Zbirka kratkih zgod Iz zemlje in sanj je bila nominirana za najboljšo knjigo leta ter uvrščena v ožji izbor za nagrado Fabula 2012. Za svoje gledališko in filmsko ustvarjanje je prejel več nagrad, kot tudi za svoje romane, ki so bili prevedeni v več svetovnih jezikov. Vir: MMC RTV Slovenija
Dr. Niels Henrik Oster
Dr. Niels Henrik Øster had a heart for service. He was born to Danish missionary parents in Freetown, Sierra Leone, on the 15th of May 1927. The family later moved to the former British East Africa before returning to Denmark, where Niels Henrik grew up at Samso and in Randers as the oldest of 8 siblings. In 1952 He married Tove (nee Sørensen) Oster, and the first of 6 children, a daughter, was born in Denmark. The family immigrated to the USA so that Niels could study medicine. He graduated from Loma Linda University School of Medicine, California, in 1961. While in California, the family grew, adding three more daughters. Dr. Oster completed a residency in general surgery, and in 1966 he moved the family to rural Virginia, where he established a private practice and worked at Tidewater Memorial Hospital in Tappahannock. The family added two sons and settled in Dunnsville, VA, on the Rappahannock River. In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Oster was deeply involved in establishing the Tappahannock Seventh-day Adventist Church, Tappahannock Junior Academy, Tappahannock Children's Center, as well as the Tappahannock SDA Church Community Service Center. Dr. Oster remained actively involved in his local church as an elder and was beloved by the local community. In 1993, Dr. Oster chose to retire and accept a call to return to Africa to serve as the Medical Director at Heri Hospital in Tanzania. He was passionate about providing surgical care to those in need and known widely for his animated telling of Bible stories. Upon returning to the United States in 2005, Dr. Oster remained active in his local church and volunteered at the Tappahannock Free Clinic. His work at Heri Hospital later inspired his younger brother, Dr. Morten Oster, from Denmark, to travel to Tanzania. To this day, his brother remains actively involved in supporting the medical work at Heri Hospital. In 2008 Dr. Niels Oster suffered a massive heart attack, and by the grace of God, he survived. While his health was impacted, he remained active during the last decade, enjoying sailing and gardening. Most of all, he enjoyed being surrounded by his six children, fourteen grandchildren, and a recent great-grandchild. At the age of 93, he died peacefully at home in Dunnsvile, VA, on the 2nd of February 2021. Dr. Niels Oster was surpassed in death by his younger sister Ella Lund in Denmark and his granddaughter Kirsten Wolcott, who was murdered while serving as a student missionary in Yap, Micronesia. He is survived by his beloved wife of 69 years, Tove, his six children, Karen, Ann, Ida, Linda, Peter, David, their families, and his six remaining siblings and their families. This beloved son of Africa and Denmark impacted many lives through his humble service and deep commitment to the Seventh-day Adventist Church's mission. May his service and faithfulness continue to be an inspiration. A memorial service will be held in the future when the family can gather together.
Filomena Carvalho
A vida da Filomena Carvalho confunde-se com a história dos serviços de informática no Iscte. O ponto de partida foram duas salas na cave do Edifício I, onde, nos longínquos anos 90, o Eng.º José Guimarães, seu esposo, e a Filomena lançaram as bases do Centro de Informática. Não havia hora de entrada nem de saída, o filho mais novo, o Ricardo, brincava nos corredores da Ala Autónoma. Em 2000 assume a coordenação técnica do Centro de Informática, sempre acompanhada pelo marido até ao seu prematuro falecimento, em 2001. Nos últimos anos era conhecida como a senhora do e-learning e, neste ano de pandemia, foi de uma entrega e generosidade ímpar e o principal pilar do ensino à distância no Iscte. Obrigado, Filomena e Guimarães.

Elizabeth Chona Muyovwe
Hon. Lady Justice Elizabeth Nkombo Chona Muyovwe remembered. We celebrate the life of a remarkable woman, daughter, grandmother, mother, sister, aunt, friend, mentor as well as an inspirational, hardworking and honest Judge. It's lovely to see the outpouring of kind messages and calls from friends all over the world to Elizabeth’s family members. Although she may be surprised at just how many people deeply cared for and cherished her life and friendship. She touched all those she met with her smile and welcoming generous ways. She lived proudly as a devoted Christian who always had God at the center of her life. Through any adversity, she stood strong in her faith always rising above every challenge, and always had the words, “It is well” for every situation. She was incredibly hard-working, passionate, and driven which can be seen through her many achievements and accolades. Her greatest job was raising her four beautiful children, Bubala, Muki, Malindi, and Mukale. As their mother, she had her greatest role in teaching and nurturing them to love God and work hard. She lived as an example to many and you can see her spirit in the life of her children. Her generosity impacted many lives through her philanthropy by diligently supporting charity, visiting the sick, caring for widows and helping fund education needs for the needy. She had a big heart, and her love touched many. All those that knew her, know how she would light up the room with her laugh, transform any space with her positive energy and be the person everyone wanted to see and be counselled. We will continue to cherish every moment we got to spend with her and know that she's in the hands of her Heavenly Father. Her memory lives on in her legacy, her giving heart, her children and her grandchild.
