It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of Helene Ramanauskas-Marconi, on January 17, 2013, at the age of 90. Helene was a Professor Emeritus in the School of Accountancy, having served at DePaul from 1961 until her retirement in 1989. She co-authored the book "Behavioral Accounting" in 1988 with Gary Siegel, and her legacy was honored in 1994 when the Helene Ramanauskas-Marconi Endowed Scholarship was established, awarding an annual prize within the graduate Management Accounting program.
Visitation will take place on Saturday, January 26, at 1:00 p.m. with a brief service at 1:30 p.m., at Damar Kaminsky Funeral Home, 7861 S. 88th Avenue, Justice, Ill. In addition, a university memorial will be held during spring quarter.
Our condolences go to the family, friends, and university colleagues who mourn the loss of Helene. May she rest in peace.

I enrolled in one of Dr. Ramanauskas' undergraduate Accountancy classes at DePaul University in the late 1970s & a year later in a graduate-level class while earning my Master's Degree. Much of the latter was devoted to the research & general information documented in the Behavioral Accounting volume referenced here. I always found her to be an exceptional communicator & fascinating lecturer & always looked forward to her classes. Frankly, I was also enchanted by the sharing of her personal history which consisted of her late and quite intriguing marriage to a gentleman of note & her strong Italian connection as a result of that union. RIP Dear Professor R. !!
