Located along a bike path and just south of the Oregon State University boathouse building is a plaque monumented on a boulder that reads:

SUZANNE WILKINS

WAY


IN MEMORY OF
SUZANNE ELIZABETH WILKINS
MAY 25, 1967 - May 6, 1990

"I SHALL PASS THIS WAY BUT ONCE -
ANY GOOD I CAN DO, ANY
KINDNESS I CAN SHOW, LET ME DO
IT NOW, FOR I SHALL NOT PASS THIS WAY AGAIN."

                                                                      OREGON STATE CREW

I was able to locate a web page from the OSUBeavers.com website that mentions Suzanne Wilkins as part of the Oregon State University rowing and crew teams.

Suzanne Wilkins rowed from 1988 to 1990 for OSU and was known for her work ethic and positive attitude. She died in the spring of her 2nd year at OSU, when she was struck by a car on her way home from the Crew Docks. The bike path under the Van Buren and Harrison bridges is also named in her honor.

Each year the crew team gives out the The Suzanne Wilkins award to a female crew member which recognizes the most inspirational varsity oarswoman.

The quote on the memorial plaque is attributed to Stephen Grellet.
