The University of South Alabama College of Medicine will hold a dedication ceremony to honor Sandy Worley, a secretary in the physiology department who passed away in 2011.The dedication will take place Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2012, at 3:30 p.m. on the east side of the Medical Sciences Building, where benches and trees have been placed in memory of Worley. During her 29 years with the University, she worked closely with medical and graduate students in the College of Medicine.
According to Penny Cook, both long-time friend and colleague, the benches were selected because Worley loved the outdoors and enjoyed reading. "We hope this spot will provide a nearby place for people to stop and appreciate some of the things she enjoyed," Cook said. "The cherry blossom trees selected as landscape represent the many years she lived in Washington, D.C."
Worley participated in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life for many years and was also a strong supporter of the American Heart Association's Gumbo Cook-offs and the American Heart Association's Heart Runs.
