In Memoriam: Dr Bernadette O’Keefe

It is with great sadness that the College has learnt that Dr Bernadette O’Keeffe, Emerita Fellow of St Edmund’s College since 2006, died on Wednesday 24 June at her home in Ireland.

Bernadette was a valued member of the College community and will be remembered with great affection by all those who knew her. During her time at St Edmund’s, she made a significant contribution to College life, assisting the development of the Von Hügel Institute (VHI), serving as Tutor from 1989 to 2006 and leading the VHI from 1990. Her field was the study of Christian education, and through these roles, and through her wider involvement in the College, she provided valued support and guidance to many members of our community.

The College flag will be flown at half-mast in her memory.
