Joyce Stives Warren

Joyce Stives Warren, 92, passed away peacefully in Allentown, Pa. on July 8, 2016. Joyce was a life-long resident of Princeton, having moved to Allentown just a few years ago. Born in Princeton, Joyce was the daughter of the late Harry Stives and Elizabeth Geddes Carlton, and stepfather, George Carlton. She was also predeceased by her brother, William Stives, and her former husband, Russell Warren.

After graduating from Princeton High School in 1942, Joyce worked at the high school as executive secretary to 15 principals over her 53-year career. At her retirement in 1995, she received a commendation from the Princeton Regional Board of Education for her many years of devoted service to the benefit of the students, her colleagues, the school district, and to the Princeton community. Everyone knew and loved “Joycie”.

Joyce was a fiercely independent woman. She had a great sense of style, and was known for her sense of humor and quick wit. She loved to make people laugh. Joyce was adventurous, and enjoyed traveling to such places as Europe, Africa, and Japan. She was very kind hearted and loved animals, especially her dachshunds. She loved music — anything from opera to Willie Nelson. During her retirement years, she enjoyed lazy days at home, watching the neighborhood happenings, reading mystery novels, feeding the birds, and doting on her dachshunds.

Joyce is survived by her three sisters-in-law, many cousins, nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and friends. She was also very fond of her Arden Courts of Allentown Pa. family, who truly loved and cared for her during her final few years.

Hugh F. Cline

Hugh F. “Tony” Cline passed away peacefully on July 4, 2016 surrounded by family. Tony was born on March 6, 1935 in Yeadon, Pa. to Jane Hunter Cline and Hugh “Bud” Cline. He was enrolled in Philadelphia’s Girard College in 1943 by his widowed mother where he excelled academically and athletically. He was awarded an athletic scholarship in gymnastics to Pennsylvania State University in 1952 and became captain of the team, winning the National Championship in 1955. He later earned a master’s degree in sociology at the University of Lund in Sweden and a PhD from Harvard University.

Tony served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force from 1956 to 1959. During this time, he married his college sweetheart Patricia Dickinson, who died in 1991. Together, they raised a family as they moved from Sweden to Boston, then to Santa Barbara Calif. before settling in Princeton in the late 1960s. His yellow Jeep became an iconic fixture at Princeton High School in the 1970’s, and his ski trips were the winter highlight for his kids and many of their friends.

Education and family were two constant passions and dedications in Tony’s life. His educational career started as a professor of sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara before joining Russell Sage Foundation in New York City on staff and then as president. He continued his career at Educational Testing Services (ETS) as executive director, division of applied measurement research, retiring in 1997.

In his retirement he returned to education as an adjunct professor at Teacher’s College, Columbia University and wrote Information Communication Technology and Social Transformation, a book exploring the transformation computers and information technology had on culture, a topic that had been so much a part of his research at ETS. Outside of work, he loved how education, as both a learner and an educator, kept life vibrant. He had a particular passion for improving educational programs in underprivileged communities. This was reflected by his involvement on the Board of Academic Affairs at Girard College and his work with the Trenton Literacy Program. People who knew him found him to be a caring listener with a genuine and inspiring interest in their lives, while always being ready to share what he had learned.

In 1996, Tony married long-time friend Hilary Hays. They shared a full and enriching life. They enjoyed time with family and close friends. Whether in Princeton, Cape Cod, or traveling (often to Europe and most recently, Myanmar), he left his mark on people with his interest, curiosity, and enthusiasm. He regularly engaged in activities that varied from spinning classes and multi-day charity bike rides with people generations younger than he, to involvement with groups such as Community Without Walls. Regardless of the nature of the gathering or setting, Tony was known as a person of profound integrity, warmth, compassion, and a great sense of humor.

In addition to his wife, Tony is survived by his children, Lynn Cline and husband Kyle Langan of Santa Fe and Hugh Cline of Los Angeles; his brother Peter Capolino and wife, Fran Deitrich of Philadelphia; his stepchildren, Bob Ogilvie of Princeton, Bill Ogilvie and partner Alice Johnson of Austin, Tex.; Brad Ogilvie and partner Walter Cortes of Washington, D.C.; Beth Ogilvie Freda and husband Mark Freda of Princeton; and his step-grandchildren Rebecca Freda and Alex Freda of Princeton.

Contributions may be made in his name to the Girard College Foundation at 2101 S. College Avenue (Office of Advancement), Philadelphia, PA 19121, or to an educational program that promotes academic advancement for underprivileged children in your community.

A memorial service will be held October 29, 2016 at 11 a.m. at the Princeton University Chapel followed by a reception.
