In Memoriam: Kathy Fecteau

It is with great sadness that we share with you the news that Kathryn (Kathy) Fecteau, a valued member of our UNE community, passed away last night, March 11, 2010, after a long illness.

Kathy was the certified medical assistant and immunization coordinator at UNE's University Health Care Portland Student Health facility since 2005. UNE President Danielle Ripich, Ph.D., states, "Kathy was a fixture on the Portland Campus, where her commitment to student health was evident in the hundreds of UNE students she cared for throughout the year."

Dr. Chris Pezzullo, University Health Care medical director, says, "Kathy was the backbone, the very heart and soul, of Portland Student Health. She will be greatly missed by all of us and by those whose lives she touched."

Kathy is survived by her husband Steve, her children Jennifer Wilson, Brian Wilson, and Douglas Wilson, Jr., her stepchildren Shawn, Michael and Ashley, and three grandchildren.

We ask that you keep Kathy's family in your thoughts and prayers.

The family of UNE employee Kathy Fecteau, who passed away March 11, will be holding a celebration of her life on May 1 at 11:00 a.m. at the home she shared with her husband Steve.  Kathy's family said that she loved the people she worked with at UNE, and that everyone who would like to attend is welcome.  The address is 6 Millstream Terrace, Casco ME  04015. 
 
Camp Sunshine was a place dear to Kathy's heart, and donations may be made in her name in lieu of flowers. For more info, visit http://www.campsunshine.org/.
