A memorial service will be held for a popular English professor who died after a long battle with cancer.

Rachel Nash died Apr. 24. She came to Kamloops in 1999 as an assistant professor in the English and modern languages department at TRU.

Thompson Rivers University president Alan Shaver said in a statement that Nash “distinguished herself as one of our outstanding scholars and a much-loved and respected teacher.”

The university said Nash married longtime spouse and fellow TRU faculty member Cameron Reid at a private ceremony last week at their home. The couple have a six-year-old son.

A memorial ceremony for Nash will be held Saturday, May 14, at TRU’s Grand Hall at 2 p.m.
