JONESBORO - The university community extends sympathy to the family, friends and former colleagues of Helen Duclos of Jonesboro, who died Saturday.

Duclos, emeritus instructor in English, taught literature and composition courses. She served on the university faculty for 22 years, beginning in 1998 and retiring in 2020. An A-State alumna, she completed her bachelor's and master's degrees at A-State.
