She took great pride in being a steadfast coworker and leader,” Santa Monica College Superintendent and President Kathryn E. Jeffery said in a statement Wednesday.

In the meantime, the school is providing counseling services to employees and students “as we grieve our irreplaceable colleague,” Jeffery said in the statement.
