DSU mourns the passing of Hattie Dabney Mishoe

Hattie Dabney Mishoe the longtime first lady of then-Delaware State College, passed away on Tuesday morning, March 17 at her Dover home. She was 94.
Mother Mishoe, as she has been well known in the Dover-area church community, was the widow of Dr. Luna I. Mishoe, whose 27-year tenure (1960-1987) made him the second longest-serving president in the history of the institution.
When she was a practicing nurse, she met the love of her life Luna Mishoe, with whom she was united in holy matrimony in 1944. Although she put her nursing career on hold to support her husband's career in academia, her nursing experience came in handy while she raised five children that were produced by the union.
As the longtime first lady of Delaware State College, she and her husband opened their home to the faculty, staff, students and community. There were even times that students stayed at the Mishoe home because of campus… Click here for more information.
