A recent gift to the School of Medicine from the estate of George S. Peters brought the alumnus’ lifetime total giving to $4.76 million for student scholarships and an endowed chair in surgery.
Peters, a member of the class of ’33, was a staunch and steady supporter of the Medical School, endowing the George S. and Louise C. Peters Chair in Surgery 12 years ago. On accepting the 1998 Alumni Service Award from the School of Medicine for this and many other acts of generosity, Peters said, “Whatever I’ve done for Temple cannot compare to what Temple has done for me.”
In 2004, he established the Dr. George S. and Louise C. Peters Endowed Medical Scholarship Fund to provide scholarships to deserving students with financial need who are enrolled in their second, third or fourth years in the School of Medicine.
Peters enjoyed a long and colorful career. After graduating from Temple in 1933, he set up a solo general practice in rural Ohio, and then served overseas with the Marine Corps during World War II, becoming a highly decorated veteran of the Guadalcanal Campaign. He earned many medals, including the Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal with four stars.
Upon his return to the United States, he settled in Montgomery, Ala., specialized in abdominal surgery, and became chief of staff at Fitts Hill Hospital and chief of surgery at Montgomery Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Peters passed away in 2005 at the age of 100. April 10, 2008
The Temple University community would like to extend its condolences to the family of Mable Frazier-Dukes, who passed away on February 6, 2008 at the age of 63.
After the birth of her children, Mable completed an associate’s degree in business administration at the Community College of Philadelphia.
She devoted over 30 years to Temple University, the majority of that time spent in a variety of roles in the School of Medicine. Most recently she served as assistant to Barrie Ashby in the graduate studies office. Mable was one of those people upon whom the school depended. She was knowledgeable, capable and industrious, and dedicated to her work and to the school.
She was also committed to serving her Lord, her family and various ministries of her church.
She is survived by her husband Andrew, their four children, four sisters, three brothers, six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Her family and her many colleagues throughout the university will miss her smile, her kindness, her positive attitude and her friendship.
A homegoing service was held on February 11th at Ebenezer Baptist Church on North 10th Street, Philadelphia. The family asks that contributions in Mable’s name be made to the Feltonville Block Captains Association, 309 W. Mentor Street, Philadelphia, PA 19120.
