an El Paso native and the internationally renowned chairman emeritus of the pathology department at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, died Friday (Dec. 1, 2000) at Medical City Dallas Hospital after a long illness. He was born in El Paso on June 7, 1924, and graduated from El Paso High School in 1940. He earned a bachelor's degree from the Texas College of Mines, now the University of Texas at El Paso, in 1943 -- when he was just 18 -- and earned a medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 1948. He was named UTEP's Outstanding Ex Student in 1978 and was a faithful supporter of his alma mater. "We're all saddened by the loss of Dr. Stembridge, who was not only a distinguished alumnus but also extremely loyal and committed to UTEP," UTEP President Diana Natalicio said Saturday. "He came back to homecoming every year until this past year. He will be missed." Stembridge is survived by his wife, Aileen, of Dallas; a sister, Edna Young of El Paso; three daughters, Shirley Watkins of San Antonio, Ann Connell of Driftwood, Texas, and Vivian Stembridge-Porter of Clinton, Wash.; and seven grandchildren. Stembridge, 76, was widely respected in his field. His honors included the Legion of Merit, the nation's second-highest peacetime award, which he received in 1959 for advancing aircraft safety through autopsies of crash victims. "Vernie Stembridge was an outstanding academic physician who made exceptionally valuable contributions to UT Southwestern in many different ways," UT Southwestern President Kern Wildenthal said. "For decades the faculty and students always looked to him for leadership and advice. His integrity and wisdom were exceptional, and he will be impossible to replace." In 1991, the University of Texas Board of Regents named Stembridge an Ashbel Smith Professor, one of its highest honors. He had served as president of every major professional pathology association in the country and had been a leading proponent of the role of allied health personnel in medicine.
