Stern, 63, was a longtime community volunteer who in the weeks before her death continued to work to increase awareness about the often-subtle symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Stern had asked that anyone wishing to make a donation contribute to ovarian cancer research through the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, 910 17th St., N.W., Suite 413, Washington, DC 20006, or www.ovariancancer.org.
