Sara Leutz Key was in England last summer taking a course at Oxford on "England in the last fifty years."

"As I wrote Charlotte Jones, I had long ago promised my niece I would visit her in her new home in Greenwich, Conn., at the time of her son's graduation. He is also my godson. Now I find the dates conflict.

Fall 1965 Alumnae Quarterly:
A letter from Sara Leutz Key's lawyer informed me of her death on May 12, at St. Luke's Hospital after an operation. She had a stroke last fall from which she was making a satisfactory recovery; the operation was not related to the stroke. The news of her passing is more moving, for our number frows smaller, and we are lonesome without our old friends. There is a tribute to Sara in "In Memoriam." We send our sympathy to her family and many friends.
IN MEMORIAM
With the death of Sara Leutz Key we mark the passing of one of this world's angels of mercy, for her whole life was devoted to the service of the sick in our hospitals. That desire to give help where help is needed was shown in college days when she joined the groups that were serving at Lawrence House and with the National Junior Republic.
Her career of nursing began when she entered the Graduate School of Nursing in Boston, from which she went to the Children's Hospital, then to the Sloane Hospital for Women. During World War I she was with the overseas surgical unit of Harvard Unviersity, coming back to supervisory work at Truesdale Hospital. She interrupted her work for a year while she studied for her master's degree at Columbia University. Then began her long connection with St. Luke's Hospital, New Bedford, largely in supervisory or executive functions. Even after her retirement she kept in close touch with St. Luke's through the women's guild of the hospital.
Though somewhat shy, Sara had a poise and quiet dignity that must have been most attractive in the hospital atmosphere. We remember her fondly as the shy, pretty Audrey in our Sophomore production of 'As You Like It," for there was never a more winsome lass in that part and such memories are the treasures of our later years. -Eda Briggs Frost '03.
