PRESIDENT’S PROGRESS REPORT 2016–2017 | 17PRESERVING A DAUGHTER’S LEGACY
‘‘
Last March, St. Mary’s Academy lost a precious member
of our freshman class, Eleanor Claire Landis. We are
deeply saddened by the loss, and yet filled with hope that
Ellie’s spirit and legacy will live on and continue to inspire Life is beautiful. Life
others for generations to come.
is the best gift anyone
Ellie loved St. Mary’s. Despite her diagnosis, treatment
and two-year struggle, she fully engaged in everything St. could have.”
Mary’s. She made friends, studied hard, joined clubs and
devoured every experience of what it meant to her to be ELLIE LANDIS ’20
a St. Mary’s girl.
Ellie’s parents, Tim and Madeline Landis, are directing
their unimaginable grief into action by creating an
endowed scholarship in Ellie’s name at the school that
their daughter so dearly loved. They are committed to
preserving Ellie’s legacy of strength, courage and great
love of life. “Ellie’s life ended too soon, and with it, her
ability to touch lives. We want to ensure that in spite of
this, she is able to continue making a positive difference
for others. This scholarship will give young girls the
opportunity to pursue their dreams at the school that Landis Family
meant so much to Ellie.”
The family set an ambitious goal of $100,000, and
gifts made to date in honor of Ellie total more than
$50,000. Ellie chose to never stop believing and fighting,
despite facing great challenges. It is in Ellie’s spirit of
perseverance that her parents will not stop until that goal
is surpassed.
On behalf of the Landis family, we invite you to make
a gift to The Ellie Landis Class of 2020 Endowed
Scholarship in memory of Ellie and in celebration of
the many lives that she can touch by providing much-
needed scholarship support for one St. Mary’s girl,
every year forevermore.

and in the Future
Marcy Moore Forman graduated from St. Mary’s
Academy in 1967, studied at Portland State University
and enjoyed a successful banking career. She married
her high school sweetheart Wes Forman, a Central
Catholic alumnus who still chuckles about waiting
for Marcy on the front steps of SMA, “because boys
weren’t allowed inside the building.”
Marcy and Wes’ passionate belief in the benefits of
an all-girl education has inspired their generous
support of St. Mary’s Academy, including Marcy’s
term on the Board of Directors and her service as the
founding chair of the Alumnae Advancement Council, Marcy Moore Forman ’67, Sophia Hallinan ’18 and
Sophia’s mother, Sheila Hallinan ’89
and the countless volunteer roles she has taken on
over the years.
