| Background: | The family of Leonard and Genevieve (Carragher) Keefe have made a mark on the Â鶹´«Ã½ and the broader community. Leonard and Genevieve raised nine children - Leonard, Colleen, Brian, Marion, Terry, Ron, Blair, Janice, and Greg, all of whom attended Â鶹´«Ã½ and have gone on to make an impact in their communities as leaders in their professions. Colleen married Leonard Malone (Â鶹´«Ã½ '72) and they raised two children together - Leslie and Jason (BA '10). In 2011, the Keefe and Malone families were deeply saddened to lose Colleen to illness at the age of 61. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, and sister-in-law. Colleen was the first female to graduate with a BBA from Â鶹´«Ã½ in 1971. She went on to a noteworthy career in human resources and served as a Director for the PEI Civil Service Commission for many years. In honour of her life and the impact Colleen had on so many, the Keefe family with Leonard Malone, made a leadership gift commitment to the Â鶹´«Ã½ in her memory. The Colleen Keefe Malone Memorial Scholarship endowment fund is part of this leadership gift. |
