Students can catch her five days a week saying one of her many recognizable phrases:
“Is that it, sweetheart?”
“How are you doing, pumpkin?”
“You have a blessed day, my love.”
Her voice is indistinguishable in Davidson Hall, as is her warmth. She has a radio on a stool next to hers. She cranes around to tune it. “Girl, I can’t miss the last church song of the day! It keeps me moving,” she said.
Terry Beard, affectionately nicknamed “Davidson Lady,” has worked at U of L for 26 years.
