God grant them eternal peace.

Jocelyne Couture-Nowak and her husband Jerzy Nowak are shown in this undated handout photo.
(Nova Scotia Agricultural College/CP) Couture-Nowak, a mother of two daughters, was originally from Montreal and lived in Nova Scotia before taking up teaching at Virginia Tech, along with her husband Jerzy Nowak, a horticulture professor who is head of the school's department.

She taught intermediate French at Virginia Tech for many years, and was well liked and respected, said her colleague Janell Watson, an assistant French professor at state university."
