The University of Central Arkansas mourned the loss of two of its family members last month.
- Heather Woolverton, 56, passed away Nov. 19 at Conway Regional Medical Center after a long illness. Professor Woolverton taught physics and astronomy. She remained active in the classroom until early October.
- Gladys M. Sachse, 91, died Nov. 13 at Salem Place Nursing Home in Conway. Ms. Sachse taught library science at Arkansas State Teachers College, now University of Central Arkansas. She was also a published author and was instrumental in the development of the Charlie May Simon Children’s Book Award.
A scholarship was established several years ago in Ms. Sachse’s honor for students who are interested in pursuing a degree in library sciences. For more information about the scholarship, contact Kathleen Carroll at UCA Foundation.
