The Lipscomb family is mourning the loss of Haley Sue Pearson, who served as administrative coordinator in the George Shinn College of Entertainment & the Arts and was a current student in Lipscomb's graduate program in conflict management. Pearson passed away Sunday, Decemer 6, as the result of injuries sustained in a car accident.

Pearson began her work in the CEA in November 2018, and was an engaged member of the Lipscomb community both within her role in CEA and by serving as a leader of a breakout chapel for our students. She was also an integral part of the CEA team who managed the Lipscomb Academy pre-game concert series during the 2019 high school football season.

Mike Fernandez, CEA dean, described Pearson as one of his team's hardest working employees who had a kind word for all.

She truly loved her work at Lipscomb, said Fernandez. Haley won the hearts and minds of all of the faculty and staff in the CEA. She was tenacious, had a kind word for everyone, was a hard worker and was confident. She truly embodied the Lipscomb spirit.

A native of Kentucky, Pearson earned her undergraduate fine arts degree in theatre from Lipscomb in 2018. While an undergraduate student at Lipscomb, she was very involved in campus life as a student, including as a member of Pi Delta social club and as a Bison cheerleader.

Lipscomb has established the Haley Sue Pearson Memorial Scholarship Fund. This scholarship will provide financial support for a student in the George Shinn College of Entertainment and the Arts, an area that Haley loved so much.

Pearson is survived by husband, Nathanial (Nat) Hubert; parents Stacy and Pam Pearson, of Franklin, Tennessee; sister, Hadley; brother, Hayden.
