Evelyn Lauder: 1936-2011
Pink was Evelyn H. Lauder's colour. The breast health advocate and founder of the Pink Ribbon campaign working for Estée Lauder for more than 50 years (she was Leonard Lauder's wife) died from ovarian cancer at her Manhattan home.
She will be fondly remembered for all her action in the support of women, her graciousness and her kind manner.
