George and Susan Dudley established a scholarship Endowment in the name of their daughter Krissa Suzanne. The scholarships are chosen by the faculty of the Occupational Health and Safety Department (OSH) and are distributed to students in the department. The Department of Occupational Safety and Health at Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky, has shared the first scholarship recipients - Lexi Stone and Aubrey Stubblefield, of the Krissa "Sparky" Dudley scholarship.
In honor of Krissa, the Dudley family recently donated to the Carlyle Volunteer Fireman to assist them in purchasing essential new equipment.

We had a great meeting with the Parker Service Center women in Peoria. Long live The Red Shoe 👠 Movement!
Krissa started working with the Red Shoe Movement in 2021. Her goal was to elevate women in manufacturing through training opportunities to improve education and skill level. She needed the women to know that they were not alone on this journey. Working in manufacturing is challenging for all women. The answer lies in how we handle those challenges. Lewis Charles, HR Manager at the Woodridge Plant for Parker-Hannefin, asked Susan Dudley, Krissa’s mother, to carry Krissa’s torch by speaking to the women of Woodridge about her challenges as a female administrator in education. September 21, 2022 was truly a Red Shoe Movement! Krissa would be proud!!
