As an out-of-state student enrolled at UNC-A, I had to make several trips yearly to the business ofice to take care of tuition and fees. I remember Mrs. Soesbee well. A quiet, pretty, friendly, yet efficient person, Mrs. Soesbee greeted me on most trips to the business office window. It’s a tribute to her personality and work ethic that she represented the state so well in her work. May her family rejoice in having such a nice person in their midst!
Chris, we will miss you. May you rest in peace with the Lord
Dear Jamie and family, we were so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was a kind and caring lady. You are in our hearts and prayers. Jan and Rick Elingburg
