Carmela found the greatest joy in her endless support for her children and family, watching her grandsons grow up, baking and cooking with them, walks on the beach, and collecting seashells. She created lasting memories with each generation, making everyone feel loved and valued. She is survived by her three children and three grandchildren: Her daughter, Carolann Nardella; her son Anthony Nardella (wife Nicole); and daughter Andrea Nardella; and grandsons, Luke, Will, and Jake Nardella.

Linda Jo Calloway, one of the first women to earn a doctorate in information technology, died in February at Morningside at Mount Sainai hospital from medical complications of a broken femur and hip in a fall at her Carnegie Hill residence in Manhattan. She had retired in 2021 after nearly 30 years on the faculty of Pace University’s Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems. She is survived by her brother, Larry Calloway, and her niece, Maia Calloway. Dr. Calloway began her productive career at the birth of the U.S. manned space program. Her first jobs after graduation from Colorado University Boulder were with NASA subcontractors at Cape Canaveral including ITT’s Apolo launch data system. She pursued her graduate degrees later at New York University while working with all-male faculties at Hofstra and Fordham Universities. Her patience paid off eventually. She was awarded the NYU Stern School of Information Systems PhD in 1989 and received tenure at Pace University nine years later. During her Pace career she was influential in the field of information systems theory. She published articles in leading international journals including the Oxford University Journal of Information Technology, Information Systems Journal, Blackwell Scientific Publications, and Journal of College Teaching and Learning. One of her most topical studies of interest to business investigated crisis management. It opened with the statement, “When crisis strikes, fast response management depends upon quickly configuring and employing information and communications.” Her papers, some with Pace students, were early investigations if issues that became relevant years later with the popular press – such as China’s ability to continue growing its economy if it cannot continue to attract multinational IT corporations. Another described the surprise result of a controlled survey of student groups that revealed a general use of “emotional language” in their relationship to software engineering tools – an issue predominant now in AI discussions. Perhaps because of the early novelty of a women working in information technology – not unusual now – Dr. Calloway was academically welcomed in other countries when she was young. She was a research fellow at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, a visiting scholar at Fudan University in Shanghai and a teacher at the Irish Management Institute in Dublin. Her non-academic interests were as diverse as her many friends. One of her most intensive preoccupations was nature photography, which she practiced on her frequent walks in Central Park. She loved the wild creatures– birds, squirrels, racoons – and she knew where some always nested, and she gave them names. She also had a creative interest in the city’s puddles. They are many, and they can be dirty. But her focus was what they framed – pure reflections of life. She published photos and poetic attachments in her little book called “As Clear As If I Saw It.” She loved music, voice in particular. For many summers she sang in the chorus the Verdi productions in the park by New York Grand Opera. She joined the American Federation of broadcast performers, which would have delighted her maternal grandmother, who had been a labor organizer for auto workers in Detroit. And friends and colleagues were surprised to see her in a bit part in at least one “Law and Order” show on television. In the Sixties she met Ray Rauth in the Cape Canaveral community theater. They were married and eventually moved to New York City, perhaps with acting in mind. They lived together for ten years until different interests led to their divorce. Just before their breakup they had found a spacious ground-level apartment on the Upper Eastside. She lived in it fifty years, until the morning last June when she tripped and fell while going to the lobby of her building to look for mail.
