UNT 90 Grad
Wednesday of this week, UNT senior Marylinn Alvarez passed away. Her younger sister is a elementary school classmate of my daughter's within the Lovejoy ISD. Marylinn was a member of the UNT Student Government Association. I'm sure she attended a football game or two while attending North Texas. (Trying not to break forum rules.) Her family desires to have her buried in Mexico where the majority of the family resides.

I reached out to the Dean of Students office today and learned that the University lowered the UNT flag yesterday in her honor and it will remain lowered for the next seven days. A group from the Lovejoy area is raising money to help the family with the costs to send Marylinn to her final resting place in Mexico. (Marylinn was a 2011 graduate of Lovejoy High School.) If anyone is interested, feel free to make donations at http://www.gofundme.com/qrfjt8 .



I assure you that this is not a cruel April Fools prank, scam, or anything of that nature. If you have questions, feel free to PM me. I apologize if it's found that this is not appropriate for the forums. My family is just reaching out where we can to help in this time of need. Thank you!

North Texas coach Dan McCarney often is among the first people to arrive at the Mean Green Athletic Center, especially during the grind of the football season.
Becky Hall often was there to greet him.

The longtime member of the UNT athletic department — known for her smile and caring ways with school officials, donors and fans — died Tuesday. Hall was 59.

The Denton native served as athletic director Rick Villarreal’s secretary for about a decade and was responsible for coordinating travel for the athletic department at the time of her death.

“There are not many people who are in when the coaches are in early in the morning,” McCarney said. “Becky was. I have the utmost respect for what she did for North Texas. Our coaching staff all respected her. She will be greatly missed.”

Visitation will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at DeBerry Funeral Directors. The funeral will follow at 11 a.m. Friday at Roselawn Memorial Park.
