I think it's important to acknowledge volunteers - living and dead - in a membership publication. Volunteers are critical to most museums - one person stuffing envelopes for a bulk mailing saves hours of staff time - and members should be aware of their contributions. Volunteering is also a higher level of commitment that we should encourage among members. I would not print a person's obituary newspaper-style (education, employment, next of kin, etc.), but I would write up his or her contributions to the museum and share some memories.
