Notices sorted by graduation date

Deverie DuVal Jensen (Col ’96, Educ ’96 CM) of Ellicott City, Maryland, died July 10, 2024. She earned her bachelor’s degree in history and her master’s in elementary education from UVA. An active participant in University life, she was a member of Kappa Delta sorority, the KD representative to the Inter-Sorority Council, and a volunteer for Madison House. She taught elementary school in Montgomery County, Maryland, for 28 years. Most recently, she taught third grade ESOL (English for speakers of other languages) at Summit Hall Elementary. After nearly three decades teaching, she still loved her job. She regularly volunteered at her own children’s school and could always be found cheering in the audience at their athletic and theatrical events. She remained close to UVA, returning often for football and basketball games, reunions, or picnics on the Lawn with her children. Each year for 30 years, she reunited with her KD sisters for a getaway trip to celebrate their friendship, often combined with a stop at the newest winery in Charlottesville. Survivors include her husband, Eric; two children; her parents, Robert and Carolyn Jones DuVal (Nurs ’69 CM); a brother; sister-in-law Lindsay Murphy DuVal (Com class of ’99); and two nephews.
