The Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ community mourns the loss of treasured alumna Connie Burdzy Donius, who passed away on Sept. 2. Donius graduated from Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ in 1955, and was a valued friend to many in the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ community.

Donius, who enjoyed a long career in teaching, was a generous and longtime supporter of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½, along with her husband, Walter Donius, who preceded her in death. The Donius University Center, a vital hub of student life on Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s campus, is named in honor of their family.

She is survived by her two sons, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Trustee William A. Donius, and Michael J. Donius. A third son, Thomas G. Donius, is deceased.
