Remembering Judy and Eddie Daniel
Judith Carroll Daniel was born to Eddie and Margaret Daniel on April 7, 1957. Although her life was cut short by a tragic car accident in 1972, her memory is long from forgotten. Her loving parents created this scholarship fund in her name to help deserving local students who are pursuing a degree in Nursing at WKU.
Not only does this fund immortalize and honor Judy, but it also serves to perpetuate the memory of her father Eddie, who recently passed. Eddie was a courageous man, a hero, who served the Bowling Green Fire Department for nearly 28 years. He and Margaret also worked together as home builders, creating and running E & M Builders. Although his passing in May 2014 marked the end of his mortal life, it did not mark the end of his legacy. Through this fund both Eddie and Judy are still able to make a positive impact on the world, to forever change the lives of worthy students.
