Her brother Dr. Shawn Storm received the Outstanding Senior Science Award in 1984 from Oak Park. An annual memorial scholarship has been given in his name by Dr. Storm's family for the last 23 years. One of her biggest joys, is now caring for second-generation patients in the Northland! Many of these are children and grandchildren of Oak Park high school graduates.
