Decker & McAdams

Jessica Decker and Lauren McAdams

A pair of non-traditional SUNY Canton students have started a lasting friendship as adult learners studying online in the Funeral Services Administration program.

Jessica L. Decker of Delhi enrolled to gain additional skills to assist with her husband’s thriving family funeral business. Lauren A. McAdams of Unadilla currently works part-time as an office manager at a funeral home and works full-time with Hospice. Both are nurses who earned their degrees from SUNY Delhi.

“We're in the same boat,” Jessica said. “We’re non-traditional students. This is our second career. It's nice to have somebody else who understands where you are at this stage in your life.”
