F. Marion Tebbetts Wood ’26
By naming the Heritage Society after Marion Wood, we honor the memory of an alumna, KSC teacher, Alumni Association president, president of the Keene Endowment Association, and founder of the Golden Circle Society.
F. Marion Tebbetts Wood passed away in May 1994, but her legacy lives on. Many students have and will benefit from the scholarship she created in 1977 in memory of her father, Harry C. Tebbetts. Marion remembered her alma mater with a substantial gift, increasing the value of the original scholarship endowment five-fold.
Marion wanted students to have the same educational opportunities she had. Fortunately, hundreds of students will benefit from Marion’s foresight and generosity.
