In Memoriam – March 2025

April 8, 2025
Sisterhood

Each month, Tri Delta publishes In Memoriam, highlighting the lives of some of our Distinguished Deltas and longtime volunteers and sharing a full list of sisters who have recently passed away. Below is the In Memoriam for March 2025.

Paula White Huffman, Pennsylvania State

Tri Delta was sad to learn of the passing of longtime volunteer Paula White Huffman, Pennsylvania State, on March 3, 2025. Paula spent over 50 years in willing service of our sisterhood, including leadership roles in her beloved alumnae chapter, volunteering with collegiate chapters as a collegiate district officer/collegiate chapter coordinator and as a member of Tri Delta’s Foundation Board of Trustees. She frequently remarked that joining Tri Delta was one of the best decisions she ever made, as she cherished the lifelong friendships she made and the opportunities it afforded her.

Paula always prioritized the happiness of her friends and family and was often the organizer of get-togethers and fun trips. She will be greatly missed by those who had the good fortune to have benefitted from her cheerful and giving nature.

Alumna Linda Wolf McLinden, Pittsburgh, shared, “Paula had a contagious love for everything Tri Delta and she was the first example for me of lifelong friendship and membership in our sisterhood. She encouraged me to get involved as a volunteer and it changed the trajectory of my life. I was blessed to have decades of making memories with her and there are too many to mention here. I will never forget the impact she had in my life.”

Adelaide Fiscus, Villanova

Tri Delta mourns the loss of collegian Adelaide “Addie” Fiscus, a sophomore from our Gamma Beta Chapter at Villanova University, on March 15, 2025. Her chapter sisters shared, “Those who knew Addie were lucky enough to experience all of the light and love she brought to every moment. Addie had an infectious laugh and a kind heart and was loved so deeply by all in our chapter.”

She was an active member of Villanova LEVEL, who posted in her memory: “Addie’s radiant smile, gentle spirit, and unwavering sweetness brought light to everyone she met and every room she entered. Her kindness and joy touched our hearts deeply, and her presence will be profoundly missed.”

We share our heartfelt condolences with her family, classmates and friends.
