It is with profound sadness that we report the death of Dickens Fellowship of New York member and Chapter Treasurer Adrienne Mazzey-Moeller. Adrienne passed away Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at the age of 73 after a sudden illness.  She was born in Manhattan and lived her entire life in the New York metropolitan area. Mrs. Moeller worked as a manager stock consultant for AT&T in Manhattan for 35 years until retiring in 1990. Adrienne was a devoted member of the Dickens Fellowship and a regular attendee at  monthly meetings and social events. In 2005 she was part of a group that travelled on a Dickens tour to London and Rochester in England.

In addition to her lively interest in the Dickens Fellowship, Adrienne was also active in her local church and community groups.

The Dickens Fellowship of New York and its members seek to keep the memory and study of Charles Dickens alive in New York City. The organization has aspects of a literary society or book club but includes much more as the name Fellowship implies. Our meetings include social events and group outings.  Members are kept apprised of cultural programs in New York City and the tri-state area that relate to Dickens and his Victorian era. Although we meet all the year round, as befitting Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol, the Christmas season finds the Fellowship in especially hearty spirits.
