Many IT and Clinical professionals at Cooper University Healthcare and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our much loved and respected co-worker, Ea Strong, on July 20, 2021. Her positive disposition and her drive to always make things better for our team, our customers, our patients, and everyone she knew will not be forgotten. Her loss will impact us all, especially those who worked closely with her and knew her as a friend.

Ea was a beautiful person inside and out whose smile would light up a room. She leaves behind her two beloved daughters, Samantha (20) and Olivia (18), who were the source of that light. Ea’s girls were the center of her world and she was devoted to helping them pursue their dreams.

Ea was a giver; she was the first person to jump in and offer assistance, she never had to be asked. As her friends and co-workers, we feel that the best way to honor Ea’s spirit and her memory is to ensure that her goals for her daughters’ education are met. To that end, we have set up this Go Fund Me page to help them shoulder the financial burden of their college educations.

We are asking you to contribute what you can. Any amount would be appreciated, and we are grateful for your support in honor of Ea.
