Librarian leaves Bethany $3.2M

Daniel Phelan writes The Times Leader reports Mary Cutlip Roche was a librarian at Bethany College. These days, Roche is being remembered as one of the college’s top benefactors, after she left the school $3.2 million.
Roche, a graduate of the class of 1935, was living in Hunt, Texas, when she decided in December 2004 to give the college the money. On the day before the transfer was to be made, however, the 95-year-old woman fell and injured herself. She died two days later.
