Mary was a great friend and wonderful lady. We will truly miss her.
Mary was a wonderful employee and colleague serving many years in the Acquisitions and Receiving Department of the McNichols Campus Library. She was responsible for ordering, receiving, and budget records for thousands of books for the university library system. She was efficient and always maintained accurate financial records. Mary was one of the unknown heroes who served in the background to provide students and faculty with the resources they needed for their research and classroom assignments.
She was a great loss for the library system when she retired. My condolences to her family.
