Kathryn Mae Shada-Marsh or Kathy with a K as she always introduced herself, 61, Lincoln, NE.,

She was soon to gain a Masters degree from UNL in Counseling Psychology at age 61. For the past few years she was a
licensed substance abuse counselor (LADC). She taught for many years, often teaching classes at UNL. She, also, attended many conferences and workshops across the country as a delegate of UNL. She served for several years as a counselor for the Department of Corrections. Throughout her teaching career and her time with corrections she was bestowed with many achievement awards.
Always the teacher, her passion was helping those who found it difficult to help themselves. Kathy had been a friend of Bill W. for 20 yrs. She loved her friends, her 60's music and was an OBG {original Brakemen Groupie}. Her storytelling was renown. She was terribly proud of her very extended family and her Lebanese Heritage.
