We have received word of the passing on Sunday, 18 February, 2024, of Dr. Elizabeth Waterston, OC.

Elizabeth was foundational to all that is Montgomery Studies, and was a co-recipient of the inaugural L.M. Montgomery Institute Legacy Award in 2018. The LMMI extends our gratitude for such a vibrant presence in the lives of so many, and our sympathies to Elizabeth’s family, friends, and all who keenly feel her loss.
