Goshen College remembers talented student

Print Article Email to a Friend

GOSHEN, Ind.—On the same stage that junior Deanne Binde (pictured) played the funny and imaginative character Ellie in the fall main-stage play “Step on a Crack,” the Goshen (Ind.) College community gathered on May 29 to remember Binde and pray for her family. A tragic automobile accident took her life when she was traveling home to Lake Park, Minn., at the end of the school year on May 22.



About 70 members of the Goshen College community gathered to pray, sing and share memories of Deanne, while, simultaneously, a memorial service was being held at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Lake Park. Thirty-eight students, faculty and staff attended the memorial service.

Deanne, a communication and theater major, was the daughter of Dale and Debbie (Saunders) Binde. In the Goshen community, she volunteered with Meals on Wheel and La Casa, and regularly attended St. John’s Catholic Church.


A Web site has been created in remembrance of Deanne, on which anyone is able to leave a reflection or a note of condolence to the family.—Goshen College
