Honoring Dr. Karyn Purvis

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Dr. Karyn Purvis, a leading force in TCU’s Institute of Child Development. Dr. Purvis changed the lives of countless individuals for the better as she used her gifts, research, and talents to advocate and meet the needs of vulnerable children and their families. Through her tireless efforts, God has brought so much hope and healing to children and families around the world. Through her legacy, countless more will be impacted. She will be greatly missed as we mourn her loss together.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Purvis’ family, her team at TCU, and all the others who loved her.
