Posthumous Award Properly Acknowledged



Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

We are honoring a couple for their long-standing contributions to an organization. She is still alive, but he died recently. Is it proper to put in print her full name and then on the next line, his full name adding posthumously in parentheses?

Signed,

Please advise

Dear Please advise,

Yes, it would be fine to include the deceased's name on the next line, but use either the term in lower case, posthumous or in caps, Posthumous Award in parentheses (without the "ly").
