Bittersweet goodbye Secretary will leave lasting legacy Sarah James Web editor Judy Shealy, secretary of the Noel House, will leave a legacy behind at Gardner-Webb University after eight years in the Noel Program, according to her coworkers. “What I will miss the most about Judy is the way she would sign T love you’ when we left every day, sometimes with tears in her eyes,” said Mary Ruth Dixon, a Noel Program disability specialist. “Not long after Judy started working here, we foimd out her nickname at her last place of employ ment was Saint Jude,” Dixon said. “That name stuck because she’s just so sweet and she wants to please everybody. I hope - the students will keep her love in their hearts as she leaves. I know the staff will.” Several Noel students agree. “Judy has been a God-send.” said one of the students in the program. “I am going to miss her happy personality and kind nature. I will also miss her willingness to go the extra mile to help you with things that you need.” After her departure this week, Shealy will move to Anderson, S.C., with her husband who received a job transfer Shealy said the relocation will be clos er to her children and grandchildren. “Judy’s leaving is truly bittersweet,” said Disabilities Specialist Parrish Calloway. “I am overjoyed that the opportu nity has come for her to spend more time with her family, but she will be greatly missed by all the students, faculty and staff.” Shealy said she will never forget the experi ences and relationships that came out of her time at GWU. “I cherish most the fiiendships and memories that I have made here at Gardner-Webb University and the true expression of ‘People Who Care’ that is felt and shared on our cam pus,” she said. “I wish each of you much success as you continue your educa tion here. I pray that God will bless each of you and keep you in His care always.” THE BROAD RIVER REVIE\^^ 2005 Gardner-Webb University’s Literary Magazine We wclcome all submissions of original poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction for consideration for publication.
