[Vcsa-announcements] Caril Dundon

[Merlyn Campos]

There is a very nice obituary in the Press Enterprise today for Caril to 
include a picture.  You can find it at 
http://www.legacy.com/PE/Obituaries.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=86876204 
and there is even an option to sign the guest book and leave comments for 
the family.

The funeral service is going to be tomorrow at noon at Evergreen Cemetery; 
however, the family have asked that it be a private family funeral to honor 
Caril's wishes.  UGA will be sending flowers to the cemetery.  Caril will 
be buried in the mausoleum at Evergreen Cemetery and the family have 
indicated that friends and co-workers are more than welcome to visit the 
mausoleum to pay their respects to Caril after tomorrow (3/21/07).


Dear All,

I wanted to let you know that our office received some very sad news on 
Friday last week that we lost a very loved staff member.  Caril Dundon 
passed away Thursday night at her home here in Riverside.  Quite a few of 
you knew Caril and will feel the sorrow that the UGA staff are currently 
experiencing.  Please pass this information on to your respective staff 
that had a chance to know and work with Caril.

Caril was a __Assistant I in UGA since April of 1995.  Caril worked 
tirelessly to answer phones and wait on customers at the UGA front counter 
in addition to opening mail, attaching labels to applications, sorting 
transcripts, entering application information in SIS, etc.  It wasn't 
unusual for me to get an e-mail from one of our applicants praising Caril 
for her assistance.  Caril always went above and beyond the call of duty to 
serve our applicants.

I will share with you one particular incident that stands out in my mind 
where Caril went above and beyond the call of duty.  About a week after 
Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, Caril received a phone call from a 
previous UCR applicant who wanted to know if she could be readmitted since 
the university she was planning to attend was under water.  As our 
procedure dictated, Caril referred the student to the appropriate college 
office for information on how to readmit to UCR.  The student called Caril 
back, very upset because the college office was not very helpful.  Caril 
came immediately into my office, obviously very upset because the student 
wasn't receiving the help that she deserved.  Long story short, Caril 
ensured that the student was taken care of and ultimately readmitted to 
UCR.  We will all miss Caril very much!

I do not currently have details about the funeral but when I do, I will 
send out another e-mail providing these details to everyone.
