Join Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University Geauga Campus as it dedicates the newly installed John Granny Memorial Patio on Friday, October 22, from 1 – 3 p.m. The ceremony will take place outdoors, near the patio, at the Geauga Campus in Burton.
John Granny was the Director of Business Affairs and Operations and worked enthusiastically for Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ for more than 30 years. John unexpectedly passed away in July 2020. The Geauga Campus chose to memorialize John and his immense Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ spirit by installing the John Granny Memorial Patio.
The patio will be a place for Granny’s friends and family as well as the campus community to gather, meet, or study. The outdoor space will have a hint of blue and gold (which John wore proudly) and will overlook the new Berkshire School complex – a project John enthusiastically supported.
Many Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ current and former employees, community members, friends, and family sponsored personalized bricks that were installed in the patio’s walkways.
