THE BICOL University paid tribute to its former faculty and librarian who died last week.

Carmen Barrios, a retired faculty member, passed away on December 12, 2020. She was 79.

“The Bicol University Family deeply mourns the passing of Carmen B. Barrios. We ask for your prayer for the eternal repose of her soul. May she rest in peace,” BU said on Facebook.

Several netizens also paid tribute to the late professor.

“I will never forget that moment when you furiously scolded us in front of the other students across the hall for being so loud inside the library — our most memorable moment,” one said.

“Thank you Ma’am for your dedication and service. You’ll be missed, Ma’am. Rest in Peace, in Jesus’ Name,” another said.

The BU also paid tribute to its former associate dean, Ruben Cardiñom, who died on December 4, 2020.
