To all,
Bea’s family, as per her request, has decided not to have as service or memorial in her honor. The Technical Division has set-up a scholarship in Bea’s name with the intent of awarding the funds we receive to a student at next year’s Auto show event. This was Bea’s passion and seemed the most appropriate way to honor her. Her family thought this would be a wonderful tribute to Bea and that “She would love that!”, yet still in keeping with her wishes for no service or celebration.
Anyone who knew her and would like to remember Bea and her years of service at NMC this way are welcome to contribute. Contributions can be made to this scholarship via the NMC Foundation (including payroll deduction). Please contact the Foundation at (231) 995-1021 or online at www.nmc.edu/foundation. (Please specify that it is for the Technical Division Scholarship in Memory of Bea Gauthier.)
Questions? Please contact Ed Bailey, Technical Division Director at (231) 995-1215 or ebailey@nmc.edu
