Alumni by class year and faculty

Frances “Betsy” (Foley) Fitzpatrick ’76AS, ’96 | Nicholas J. “Jay” Demerath III | William “Billy” Kenoi ’93 | Wynora Aquila Ayana McCants ’99 | Joseph D. Duffey | John Winske ’17

A Career that Bloomed

Frances Elizabeth “Betsy” Fitzpatrick ’76AS, ’96 died on January 27, 2021, at the age of 65. A graduate of the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, Fitzpatrick began her horticulture career at the UMass Cold Spring Orchard, learning how to care for tree stocks and researching fruit viability.

From there, she secured her first professional position in the commercial flower industry and quickly became an expert on growing roses. This experience served her well when she moved on to overseeing the greenhouses at Butler and Ullman Inc. in Hadley. There, her dedication and kindhearted nature soon got the attention of fellow employee Robert Foley, whom she later married.

In 1988, she became director of research for an open-air flower-growing company situated on a 600-acre farm in Northern California. Fitzpatrick not only loved floral diversity but also enjoyed meeting growers and buyers from around the world. With a large number of employees who only spoke Spanish, she learned the language to better engage with them.

Fitzpatrick deeply valued the impact that her time at UMass made on her life and her career. Therefore, her family requests that donations be made in her honor to the Cold Spring Orchard Endowment, enabling others to follow in her footsteps.

Mixing religion and politics

Nicholas J. “Jay” Demerath III, retired UMass sociology scholar, professor, and department chair, died on February 5, 2021, at the age of 84. Demerath was a leader in the field of religion and culture, focusing his research on the intersection of religion and politics.

A prolific writer and editor, Demerath authored or co-authored 12 books, including three case studies on the roles that religion, public life, and politics play in America and abroad.

Demerath was also a passionate educator. In 1970, he joined UMass Amherst as a sociology professor and was department chair from 1972 to 1977 and then again from 1981 to 1986. With his leadership, the UMass sociology program became one of the top 20 sociology programs in the country by 1982. In 2002, Demerath’s accomplishments were acknowledged when he received the Chancellor’s Medal for outstanding contributions to the campus. Additionally, Demerath was appointed as the Emile Durkheim Distinguished Professor, which—never one to turn down an opportunity for humor—he dubbed the Emile Durkheim “Extinguished” Professor when he retired from UMass in 2008.

Big Island Mayor Defines Spirit of Aloha

William “Billy” Punapaiaala Kenoi ’93, former mayor of Hawaii County from 2008 to 2016, died in January at the age of 52. Kenoi’s two terms in office were marked by an ambitious string of public works projects, all focused on leaving the people he loved and the island better off than when he arrived.

Kenoi became a YouTube sensation in 2014 thanks to the commencement address he gave in his trademark Hawaiian pidgin at Hawai’i Pacific University. “When I told people I was going to college, they said, ‘Easy, Hawaiian, maybe you better throttle back some of that ambition and dreams.’” he said. “I’m here for tell you guys, no listen to them!”

In addition to his career in politics, Kenoi was a fervent athlete, surfing whenever possible and competing in the Ironman competition in 2014—just months before being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called myelofibrosis in 2015. He is remembered for the renewed vigor with which he pursued public projects in the wake of his diagnosis, as well as his commitment to traditional Hawaiian values. “Love, aloha, it doesn’t cost any money and it doesn’t take any effort,” said Kenoi. “And the most amazing part? The more you give, the more you have—and you’ll never run out.”

Beauty in everyday life

Wynora Aquila Ayana McCants ’99, artist and learning specialist, died in August 2020 at the age of 70.

Aquila spent her early years in an Alabama town of just 150 residents. Raised with the help of her Muscogee Creek grandmother, she found beauty in everyday life—weaving baskets, embroidering, and dancing through the tall grass. After moving to the South Bronx, Aquila was enrolled in a notable school for the arts thanks to her mother, a local minister and activist. She later attended the Pratt Institute and finally UMass Amherst, where she studied art and selected the name Aquila Ayana as an addition to her birth name.

Aquila spent the majority of her nearly 40-year career in roles supporting student opportunities and development. She was an advocate at what’s now the Center for Women and Community, an associate director of Undergraduate Admissions, director of Native American Student Support Services, and a learning specialist for Disability Services.

During her semi-retirement, she devoted more time to artistic pursuits. In 2016, the Fine Arts Center Augusta Savage Gallery presented A Point of View, a retrospective exhibition of Aquila’s writing and artwork, which tied together her colorful and expressive art and her deep interest in the stories of the people around her.

Theologian, Academic—and Activist

At the age of 88, former UMass Amherst chancellor Joseph D. Duffey passed away on February 25, 2021. However, his legacy on campus and beyond will be felt for generations. A staunch Democrat and anti-war activist, Duffey threw himself in positions—both academically and politically—that he thought would bring about peace and bridge the many divides separating the American people.

The Washington Post highlights his politics and activism:

[H]e was perhaps best known for his political activism in the 1960s and early ’70s, when he helped organize Freedom Rides to the South and immersed himself in liberal politics, distressed by what he called the “carnage in Vietnam.” He was a leader of Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy’s (D-Minn.) anti-war presidential campaign in Connecticut, where he was teaching at the Hartford Seminary Foundation, and succeeded economist John Kenneth Galbraith as head of Americans for Democratic Action.
