Trent University Saddened to Learn of the Passing of Julia Frances Coughlin

December 17, 2015

Mrs. Coughlin worked at Trent University from 1985-1998

The Trent University community was saddened to learn of the passing of Julia Frances Coughlin on December 15, 2015. She started working at Trent in 1985 as a relief housekeeper and worked as a housekeeper until she retired in 1998.

Below is an excerpt from her obituary notice:

She will be remembered by several nieces and nephews. Friends and relatives are invited to call at THE HENDREN FUNERAL HOMES, LAKEFIELD CHAPEL on Sunday December 20, 2015 from 2-4 and 7-9 PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held from St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Douro on Monday December 21, 2015 at 10:00 AM.
