With Helen Sawyer Hogg's death in January 1993, the astronomical community lost a most distinguished scientist as well as a visionary role model for female astronomers, and Canada lost a gifted educator of both students and the public. For over 60 years she was a leading authority on variable stars in globular clusters, publishing in excess of 200 papers; an International Astronomical Union Colloquium was held in honor of her life work in August 1972. Her contributions were recognized by many national and international awards throughout her career, including Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1946 (first woman in Physical Sciences) and Companion of the Order of Canada in 1976.
