F. Ann Walker, 81, died Jan. 30 in Spokane, Washington.

“After moving to the University of Arizona in 1990, Ann extended her metallo-porphyrin research to paramagnetic macromolecules using NMR, EPR, 57Fe NMR, and Mössbauer spectroscopies. She received the Francis P. Garvan-John M. Olin Medal, the Alfred Bader Award in Bioinorganic or Bioorganic Chemistry, was a fellow of the American Chemical Society, and associate editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (1998—2010). Ann was a remarkable mentor whose impeccable professionalism enriched the scientific careers of students and colleagues alike. She especially championed female and underrepresented scientists. Ann lived life fully; certain she leaves this world a better place.”—John H. Enemark, colleague
