	Judith E. Voelkl, Ph.D., CTRS (1957-2009) It is with profound sadness we report the passing of our friend and colleague, Dr. Judith E. Voelkl. Her laughter and intellect engaged us. Her courage and spirit inspired us. We will miss her. Obituary Judi's last journal article: "I Love Pumpkins": The Role of Therapeutic Recreation in Oncology, Therapeutic Recreation Journal, National Therapeutic Recreation Society has been published. Judi received her advance copy on February 5. Abstract: The purpose of this narrative is to recount a personal journey with bile duct cancer, focusing on the experience during a 12 day in-patient stay on a surgical unit. The surgery, the Whipple procedure, consisted of the removal of the bile duct and gallbladder and small parts of the liver, pancreas, and stomach. Within this narrative I examine the role of recreation and leisure during the in-patient recovery process, with an emphasis on the role of casual leisure (Hutchinson & Kleiber, 2005). Casual leisure allowed for the buffering of stress and maintenance of aspects of my personal identity. Implications for CTRSs working in oncology are discussed. back to top
