A Tribute to Bethany Rae Kirk

By

Bethany R. Kirk, 22, loved working at the University Library in the Periodicals Dept., and did so for almost two years. We sadly learned that she died on Monday, October 5, with family at her side, after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer.

Bethany graduated from Mondovi High School in Mondovi, WI in 2011, and she was enrolled at UWSP studying Health Care Administration. Prior to coming to UWSP, she was a transfer student from UW-Baraboo. She also worked at that library.

She leaves the Library with memories of laughter, grace, optimism, empathy, bravery and courage. As one of her supervisors said, “Bethany has a place among an elite top group.” Her mantra and famous saying was always, “She-ra Power!”

We were all privileged to work with Bethany and to know her. She will be missed.

You may read her obituary here.

SHE-RA POWER!
(here's to you, Bethany)
