On February 22nd, Gloria Zahara a long-standing AUFA member for 30 years passed away after a battle with cancer at the age of 63. Gloria joined AUFA in 1991 working in AU course production through a variety of roles, ultimately moving to the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences until her retirement in 2019. An Athabasca resident, Gloria was a familiar and welcome face to all of us who have a long history with AU.
Her obituary is posted here, with details on a celebration of life at the Athabasca Missionary Church, and a space for Donations in her memory to Healing Hearts Inc.
AUFA extends its profound condolences to her family and colleagues.
