CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - "Frances Clinkscales was a tremendous advocate to Campbellsville University," said Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, at the dedication ceremony for the Frances Clinkscales Courtyard located between the School of Nursing and the School of Education, on September 6, 2012.



Clinkscales, who died February 27, 2008, served on many civic groups some of which include the Campbellsville City Council, Greater Campbellsville United, Habitat for Humanity, Campbellsville University's Advisory Council and the State Parole Board.

She was a member of the Campbellsville University Advancement Board and has an endowed scholarship named in her honor by former Congressman Ron Lewis, a member of the CU Board of Trustees. She was also a well-respected nurse "Ms. Clinkscales was community minded, servant minded and had a heart of love for all people," Carter said. "She always made time for others."

Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young spoke about Clinkscales and the impact she had on his life. Young said, "She truly cared about all people and wanted the best for them. She caused a domino effect. She would care for others and make you want to do the same. She was a nurse by profession and a caregiver by heart," Young said. She loved people and wanted to help them in any way she could, he said.

In honor of Clinkscales, Young, John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president at Campbellsville University, and Campbellsville University together felt it to be appropriate to honor her in the courtyard between the School of Nursing and the School of Education. "I truly believe these two schools represent what Ms. Frances would wish for everyone in our community," Young said. "

Young said Clinkscales was a great example and that he hopes students will stop and reflect on her life and the great community leader, role model, mentor and friend she was. "Ms. Frances would want all of us to know that we all can achieve whatever we want, regardless of any obstacles or hardships we may face," said Young. "For this is what Ms. Frances did." April Hill
