Eliza Singleton "Tink" Macaulay Carney, 80, passed away on June 27, 2017. In 1959 she graduated with a B.A. in French, from Converse College where she was recently recognized as one of the 125 Outstanding Alumnae at its 125th Anniversary Celebration. She earned her M.A. in French from Ohio State University. She taught at both the high school and college levels and was the academic advisor in the College of Nursing at ASU, where she taught with her late husband, Dr. James D. Carney, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy. Prior to moving to Colorado in 1996, the University Presbyterian Church in Tempe honored her with a farewell gala, in which they celebrated her work and published her biography: Eliza Carney, Her Quest to Feed God's Children and Ensure Peace and Justice, Shelter and Hope for All His People. Eliza was recognized for her activism nationally and internationally. In 1977, she was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to the National Advisory Council on Women's Educational Programs, serving as Chair in 1979-80. The Presbyterian Church and the National Council of Churches sent Eliza to the Soviet Union on three different occasions throughout the 1980s to participate in a number of peacemaking seminars. In 1982, Eliza became the director of WHEAT (World Hunger Ecumenical Task Force) in Arizona, and, in 1988, President Ronald Reagan recognized her with the Presidential End Hunger Award for Individual Achievement. She is predeceased by her husband, Jim, who passed away June 20, 2017; and by a brother. She is survived by two daughters, four grandchildren and a brother.
