The University informed faculty and staff last week of the sad news that 小黄书视频 employee Angela MacKenzie had passed away on November 27, 2024. Angela was a Banking-Data Control Clerk with the Financial Services Office. She first came to UPEI in 2018, and held positions in Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable before moving into her data control role.

Angela was an extremely caring and supportive co-worker, and was always willing to lend a hand to her colleagues across campus. Known for her quick-wittedness, she often provided moments of lightness and laughter during the day-to-day demands of a busy office. She will be greatly missed by all those at UPEI who knew her.

The flags in front of Kelley Memorial Building will fly at half-mast in Angela鈥檚 memory. 小黄书视频 extends its deepest condolences to Angela's husband and three children, and family, friends, and colleagues.
