Commemorating
Somervillians who have died Commemoration underlines the relationship between Somerville and its members, one founded on the values, ideals and history we share as a community. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Somerville’s Commemoration Service was substituted this year with an abridged online video Service released on June 27th, which featured a short address from the Principal and music from the choir. In more ordinary times, the Service commemorates Somerville’s founders, governors and major benefactors, and especially our alumni who have died during the past year. The full list of names to be commemorated has been published on the college website, and a commemoration booklet of obituaries has also been published. We invite all Somervillians to join us next year, when we hope we will be able to meet again in the Chapel for the annual Service. We particularly invite close families and Somervillian friends of those who have died to join us. If you know of any Somervillians who have died recently but are not listed here, please contact Liz Cooke (elizabeth.cooke@ some.ox.ac.uk).
