Motherhood journey ended too soon

DURHAM - Debra Kent was a mover and shaker in the world of HIV/AIDS nonprofits, a professional fundraiser with an activist bent. But what she really wanted was to be a mom.

She achieved that, if only for a few years.

Kent died a few months ago of ovarian cancer. She was 55.

Born in Brooklyn, Kent moved to California in her mid-20s and began her nonprofit work. She worked with women and transgender people as executive director of a health services agency in San Francisco. She helped establish a residential hospice for people with AIDS and worked for various AIDS foundations and research institutes.
