Read MoreNot every girl gets to meet the Dean of Women at UGA on good terms. I was privileged to serve on a panel discussion lead by Dr. Hammack of the Psychology Dept. when I was an "older" student and Dean McBee was a faculty participate as well. She was so charming and delightful to get to know if even for a short time. She made a difference in this world. My sincere condolences to her family.

What a wonderful person! She helped me with academic matters beyond the call of duty. Her work in the legislature getting unused sick leave converted to service time allowed me to retire a year early. And a friendly neighbor to boot! The Athens community will miss you.

I loved Louise McBee. She was a good friend. She was the best administrator I ever knew. She could work with anyone, she was constructive, she was not afraid of a new idea. When I had doubts about academia, I thought about Louise and I knew that it was possible to continue, always, with integrity. I will always love thinking about Louise McBee.
