University community loses two members

Ann-Marie Agnew

Ann-Marie Agnew ended a brief battle with cancer at the Montreal General Hospital on May 31, 2011.

Agnew worked in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics since the beginning of her employment at Concordia in 1994. For the last eight years, she was the Graduate Program Assistant in the department.

A service for family and friends was held on Friday, June 3.

Donations can still be made to the oncology department and/or intensive care unit of the Montreal General Hospital Foundation, 1650 Cedar, Room E6-129, Montreal, H3G 1A4 (514-934-8230, www.mghfoundation.com).

A graduate scholarship will be established in her name. Details on donating to the fund will be released as they become available.

Louyse Lussier

Louyse Lussier ended a valiant battle with cancer on June 1, 2011. 

Lussier’s health forced her to leave her position in the Dean of Students office last year after 33 years of dedicated service to Concordia. This year, the Louyse Lussier Student Life Award was inaugurated at the Concordia Council on Student Life Outstanding Contribution Awards.

Visitation will be held on Thursday June 16, 7-10 p.m. at Collins Clarke McGillivray White Funeral Home, 5610 Sherbrooke St. West.

A memorial service will be held on Friday June 17, 2 p.m. at the Loyola Chapel, 7141 Sherbrooke St. West.

A special shuttle bus will leave the Sir George Williams Campus at 1:30 p.m. for those wishing to attend the service. In addition, although it is a Friday, the shuttle bus will run until 6 p.m. instead of ending at 1 p.m. Parking fees will be waived on the Loyola Campus for those attending the service.

Donations can be made to the Concordia Volunteer Abroad Program.
