Deaf Gally Professor, L. Synder-Garnder Died in Recent Fire

Regretfully informed you, RLMDEAF readers about the unfortunate incident involved Deaf Gallaudet University math professor and her daughter and ten pets died in the rented house blaze.

The name of Gallaudet University deaf math professor - It's Laura Synder-Garnder. Very sad. Her deaf daughter, Mary Ann, a junior at Gallaudet University, was killed as well as ten pets- two dogs and eight cats. Laura Synder-Garnder had very outgoing personality.

Laura's son taught math at Gallaudet, too.

No photo available of Laura Synder-Garnder. Just the group photo of Gallaudet University's Science, Technology and Mathematics Department. No idea of what Laura Synder-Garnder look like.

That assumed Laura Synder-Garnder to be the contractual employee, not the tenured or full-time professor.

Here is the individual photo of deceased Laura Synder-Garnder from Gallaudet employee file :

Correction : Mary Ann Synder-Garnder was the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) student, not Galladet University student as previously reported on this blog. Many thanks to Aaron Evans for the correction. Greatly appreciated for his correction, Evans.
