Murphy Library staff member Yvonne Hyde died April 9. Yvonne served as a distinguished staff member of Murphy Library for 38 years; the last 18 years working in the Cataloging Department. She retired in 1995.
Yvonne was born in Chicago and attended Milwaukee State Teachers College. She married Bill Hyde in 1950 and they moved to Madison where Bill earned his Ph.D. and she earned her B.A. degree. They came to La Crosse in 1956 where Yvonne joined the library staff. Yvonne and her late husband Bill dedicated their lives to UWL, and many former and current colleagues of Yvonne (and Bill) have kindly shared thoughts on the impact of their generosity. The Hyde’s wonderful support for the English Department includes the William & Yvonne Hyde Special English Endowment and the William J. Hyde English Department Scholarship Fund. In 2002, the English Department honored them by naming its colloquium series as the English Department William J. and Yvonne M. Hyde Colloquium Series, and Murphy Library later recognized them as recipients of the Eugene W. Murphy Library Special Recognition Award. For more information see the obituary.
