The campus community will remember and celebrate the life of Victoria “Hatoon” Adkins in a memorial service on Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Memorial Quad in front of the Knight Library. Adkins, 67, died from accident-related injuries
Tuesday after she was hit by a
car while riding her bicycle on Franklin Boulevard.
Adkins, who was homeless,
was a long-time campus resident and most recently made her home on a bench by the University
Bookstore. Flowers, candles and notes now adorn the bench, and people have been stopping by to pay their final respects.
At the memorial, community members will share their stories of Adkins; there will also be a reading of messages left at her bench. Local musicians will be in attendance.
After the memorial, those who knew Adkins will gather in the Knight Library Browsing Room to remember and honor the community and network of friends that contributed to her life.
