EUGENE, Ore. — A public memorial will be held in Eugene for the youngest daughter of former University of Oregon president Dave Frohnmayer and his wife.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Tuesday that the memorial will be held Oct. 29 for Amy Frohnmayer Winn.

She died Oct. 2 at the age of 29 after a life-long battle with a rare genetic disorder.

Winn was the third Frohnmayer child to die of Fanconi anemia.

The memorial at the John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts will include a video tribute and presentations by friends and family.

Despite her illness, Winn ran a marathon, completed a master’s degree and was going for a second degree when she died.

She got married earlier this year in the hospital.
