She obtained a B.S. from Ohio University, Athens in 1974 and an MA (1976) and
PhD (1987) from the University of Illinois. She came to St. Cloud in 1982 as a
member of the Department of Communications Studies at St. Cloud State
University, where she directed PLAyers, a student performance group. She was
a member of the National Communication Association (Performance Studies
Division), a supporter of the Humane Society, a member of First United

the home at a later date. Meanwhile, a memorial gathering will be held at First
United Methodist Church on Fifth Avenue this Saturday, 6 April 2002 at 1:00

Methodist Church in St. Cloud or the National Marrow Donor Program
(www.marrow.org). Donations to a scholarship fund for her daughter's education
can be sent to Bessana Kendig (Benefit), US Bank, 1015 St. Germain Street, St.

better fellow travelers.</span></div>
