The Office of the Vice Provost for Research is sad to announce that Bethani Stanford, a grant coordinator in the Office of Sponsored Programs, lost her 21-month battle with breast cancer on Wednesday, July 17.  She is survived by her husband Justin and their 22-month-old daughter, Madison.

Bethani worked in OSP for over four years, where she provided support to faculty members in preparing and submitting proposals for external funding.

Visitation will be held on Friday, July 19 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Grace Gardens Funeral Home in Woodway. The funeral service will be at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday the 20th, also at Grace Gardens, followed by interment at Canaan Baptist Cemetery near Crawford.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to a benefit account at the Security Bank of Crawford.
