JoAnne Epps, Temple University's acting president, dies

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- JoAnne Epps, Temple University's beloved acting president, died on Tuesday, the university said. She was 72 years old. 

Epps became ill during a memorial service at Temple for Charles L. Blockson, a curator of the Blockson Collection. She was then taken to Temple University Hospital for further treatment and pronounced dead at around 3:15 p.m., the university said.    

"She had an amazing ability to be the calming force in troubled waters and pull everyone together and was a pleasure to work for, made every day coming into work fun and was steering the Temple ship in the right direction," Ken Kaiser, the senior vice president and chief operating officer of Temple, said. "I think it's just a gut punch right now. It's hard."
