In Memoriam: (Beverley) Mary Mullins 

On July 27, Accountancy Department Coordinator Mary Mullins passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Mullins began her Concordia career in 1973.

Eva Ferrara, Department Coordinator for Decision Sciences and Management Information Systems, remembered Mary fondly. “I started my first job here in JMSB in Accountancy and Mary taught me everything I know. It’s thanks to her that I am where I am; she was a great mentor.”

Accountancy Chair and Associate Professor Dominic Pelletier-Rivest recollected, “Mary was a dedicated, diligent and honest person. She always had the department’s interests at heart and strived for perfection, which enabled the department’s smooth operations. Mary was a passionate woman with strong opinions. People that knew Mary well knew that she had a good heart and a strong will. She had been the Department of Accountancy’s source of stability as different Department Chairs came and went over the years.”

The JMSB and Concordia communities are saddened by the loss of a dear colleague and friend. Her cheerful disposition will be missed by friends and colleagues alike.
