It is with sadness that we have learned of the death of retiree Kathy Jones. Kathy passed away on November 15 at the age of 68, after a long struggle with dementia. She began her career in the Loop Campus Library's Public Service division in 1976, and over the next 36 years led the effort to streamline the Loop Student Cashier Office, aided in the creation of Organizational Development, created the Purchasing Department, served as Operations Director at the Barat Campus, and was responsible for Loop classroom scheduling. She was the first President of Staff Council and an avid Blue Demons fan. She is survived by her two children, two grandchildren, four siblings, and many extended family and friends.A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, January 18, 2020, 4 - 8 p.m. at Prairie Bluff Golf Course in Lockport, IL. All are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are appreciated to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation Foundation (www.alzinfo.org; 110 East 42nd Street, 16th Floor New York, NY 10017) or Journey Care Hospice (www.journeycare.org). Special thanks to the staff at Belmont Village of Oak Park for their compassionate attention and care since 2017.
Our condolences go to the family, friends, and DePaul colleagues who mourn the loss of Kathy. May she rest in peace.
