The Brandon School Division’s board of trustees took time out of their regular meeting on Tuesday to remember local education figurehead Beatrice Jolly, who passed away on May 17 at the age of 92.
Even though Jolly served as a BSD trustee from 2006 to 2010, board chairperson Linda Ross said her contributions extended far beyond this one role.

BOARDMAN A book has been donated to the Boardman High School library in honor of Francis J. Ritz of Poland, a former Boardman teacher who died in November 2019 at the age of 102.
The book was presented by Darlene Malaska (past president) and Debbie VanArsdale (current president) of the MU Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International Society of Key Women Educators. Ritz was a member of the local chapter and earlier this year, the membership decided to donate a book in her name to Boardman High School.
“It is a policy with our chapter to pay tribute to deceased members,” said Malaska during a Boardman Board of Education meeting last week. “Francis was all about education and she had an enormous impact on Boardman schools.”
