Ryan Edmonds: Gone but Never, Ever Forgotten


Dear Libraries Colleagues,

I am sad to share the news that Ryan Edmonds, who worked in Bailey/Howe's Circulation Department for several years, has passed away from complications due to Ovarian Cancer.

You can read more about her illness and the remarkable strength she showed throughout it, here at Caring Bridge. Please feel free to leave a message for her family in the Caring Bridge guestbook. Ryan and her wonderful partner Ben were married at the hospital in the final days of her life.

Ryan was a delight and a ray of light. Remember this cake she made for one of our holiday parties? The vibrancy of Ryan's Ridiculous Rainbow Cake captures her spirit perfectly.

Here's to you Ryan! You made our workplace and, indeed, the world better. 

With love and admiration,

Nancy and Your Pals at the UVM Libraries
