Elisabeth "Lisa" Glaser

Dr. Elisabeth "Lisa" Glaser, psychotherapist and historian, died on Thursday, September 23, 2010, after a long struggle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis., Ms. Glaser was born on June 28, 1954, in Cologne, Germany. She received the Dr. Phil. degree at the University of Cologne in 1984 and served as assistant professor of history in the Anglo-American Seminar there from 1984 until 1990. During that era, Cologne figured as the most important locus for American studies in the Federal Republic. Ms. Glaser taught a wide palette of courses, not only in her specialty, United States foreign relations, but also on economic affairs, immigration, and constitutional history., Ms. Glaser served as Senior Fellow at the German Historical Institute in Washington from 1991 until 1996 and also taught German history at Georgetown. She published her first book, on United States conquest and administration of the Philippines, in 1986. At the GHI she convened numerous international conferences and edited four additional books on German emigres and American political thought, transatlantic images and perceptions, American exceptionalism, and the Treaty of Versailles. The last-named work, for which she brought together the leading world experts on the end of World War I, remains the definitive work in the field., Ms. Glaser also wrote 20 scholarly articles on subjects ranging from foreign trade, Chilean monetary policy, and J.P. Morgan & Company to Leo Strauss and Heinz Kohut., While continuing her research on emigration from Nazi Central Europe, Ms. Glaser embarked on a second career as a psychotherapist in 1997 after settling permanently in Charlottesville. She graduated from the psychoanalytic psychotherapy training program at the Washington Psychoanalytic Foundation and became an advanced candidate at the New York Freudian Society., She maintained a private practice in both Charlottesville and Richmond and developed a particular expertise in multiple personality disorder. Ever ready to put others first and astonishingly modest about her own accomplishments, she juggled two careers with aplomb, taught graduate courses on European history with her husband, and lavished attention on her two beloved stepchildren., Ms. Glaser bore her affliction with ALS with characteristic sweetness, dignity, and courage. She continued seeing patients and writing until weeks before her death., She leaves her husband, Stephen Schuker, a history professor at the University of Virginia; her stepchildren, Lauren Schuker of Los Angeles and Daniel Schuker of New Haven; two sisters and a brother-in-law; and four cherished nieces and nephews.

She had a long and happy life as the devoted wife of the late Ernest Williams II and the mother of Ernest Williams III, of Nashville, Tenn., Tracy W. Barron, of Concord, Mass., and Marjorie W. Coward, of Fairfax. She is also survived by six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Marjorie was born Nov. 5, 1915, in Lynchburg, to John Doniphan Owen and Persis Pursell Owen. She attended National Cathedral School for the last two years of high school. She graduated from Wellesly College in 1937, where she was a music major and a memeber of the choir and a member of Alpha Zeta. She and her late husband lived in Lynchburg for more than 50 years. She was an active member of First Presbyterian Church, where she taught Sunday school. She served as the president of the Junior League of Lynchburg, the YWCA and the Lynchburg chapter of the Garden Club of Virginia. She joined in her husband's interests in golf and even learned to fly his small plane. She also joined Ernie in his enthusiastic support of Washington and Lee University. An Honor Scholarship in both of their names was set up at W & L. The Marjorie Williams Endowment for Library Acquisitions was established in 1993. In 1959, Marj and Ernie built a summer house at Hilton Head, S.C., and in 1970 they retired there. On Hilton Head, she and her late husband were enthusiastic golfers and active members of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, where they sang in the choir. Retirement did not last long after Marj and Ernie started the Binnacle Antique Store at Harbor Town. This was an enjoyable and fascinating business for them both; they ran it until a few years before their next move. In 1986, the Williams moved to the Villlage of Golf, Fla. There, Marjorie continued with her interest in golf, croquet and duplicate bridge. She was an active member of St. Pauls's Episcopal Church, where she was a member of the choir and a vestry member. From 1989 to 1995, she and her late husband spent summers at the Chatooga Club in Cahiers, N.C. Marjorie spent the last four years of her husband's life faithfully caring for him. She discounted the toll to herself, saying, "it is my pleasure." For her last few years, Marjorie's loving caregiver was Marie Louigene. Marjorie will be remembered by all who knew her as a sweet, gracious and elegant person.
