GTP Story Detail

Phyllis Mei Sue Choy ’64 Shurtz

This endowed fund honors the memory of our sister. Her siblings – Roberta, Ronald ’61, Willis, and Jon ’77 – want to help students overcome financial obstacles that otherwise would prevent them from attending Punahou, the best school in Hawai‘i. Ronald, Phyllis and Jon were fortunate that their parents could pay their Punahou tuition, which made all the difference in expanding life’s opportunities available to them. They want others to have the same chance.
Phyllis attended the University of California at Berkeley, participated in the Free Speech Movement and graduated in 1968, majoring in chemistry. She married Don Carlos Shurtz on Valentine’s Day 1970 and died unexpectedly in January 1971.
