1/28/2020

The York College family was overwhelmed with sadness yesterday when news was released of our beloved Sue Roush ’01, wife of Dr. Clark Roush, passing away. She had been battling pancreatic cancer for over a year and had been in remission for several months.

Roush was a long-time employee of York College, serving in various roles from 1998-2011 including Director of Alumni and Community Relations, Senior Development Officer, and Business Manager. She also represented her alma mater in many ways with the fine arts department and was often seen on stage sharing her incredible vocal music talents.

Roush was York College’s winter commencement speaker in December and talked of how she was looking forward to working on her doctorate and so many other things. In her speech Roush talked of her personal battle with cancer and how her world was turned upside down when she first received the news. "You can’t move forward without first stopping, and taking stock of your circumstances," she said. "The only way you can listen is to be still. Seek direction. Seek advice. Seek the one who made you."

Our prayers are certainly with Clark and his family at this time. Sue’s impact on our campus goes beyond her years of service to this place and community. She will be greatly missed by so many. 

A celebration of Sue's life will be held on Saturday, February 1st at 10 AM at the York Country Club, 1016 W. Elm St. York, Ne.
