Mia – In memoriam

22 April 2014 to 29 July 2025

It is with great sadness that we inform all of Mia’s friends in the Fulbright world that Mia passed away on July 29^th after a short, but terminal illness.

Mia was an important part of Fulbright Iceland throughout her life and was a source of joy and comfort to many of our U.S. grantees and their families. Her gentle eyes mirrored her calm and soothing demeanor. She made the office a better place simply by being there. She was a shining light and embodied the values of Fulbright. She was kind, empathetic and a promoter of mutual understanding. Mia’s mom sends gratitude to all of you who showed Mia love these past eleven years and who enriched her life. Mia loved getting to know you all.

She is survived by her mom and her two cat sisters, Mímí and Rúsína. She is sorely missed by her office colleagues, friends and neighbors. Rest in peace, sweet, beautiful girl. You are loved and remembered always.
