The University Library is sad to share the news that Celine Beaudry, retired Library Operations & Hospitality Assistant, passed away on Sept. 3, 2025. For over 40 years Celine was a staple of the UMass Lowell community. She worked in Lydon Library for many years as the library’s Senior Resource Coordinator. She eventually moved to O’Leary Library where she worked until she retired in 2023 to spend time with her family.

Celine was always happy to help faculty, staff and students get the resources and support they needed. She often said her job was to say ‘yes’ when asked for help. She was predeceased by her sister and fellow library employee Laurice Achin.

Her family had a private memorial for her, but you can still leave messages for her family at her obituary.
