Katherine Roudebush

Katherine Roudebush, 88, passed away November 22, 2004 at Mt. Pleasant Village in Monroe, OH. Ms. Roudebush was born in Milford, OH and attended Milford High School. After graduating from Miami University in 1938, Ms. Roudebush completed a Masters in Education from the University of Cincinnati and did post-graduate work at McGill University, the University of Wisconsin, and the Sorbonne in Paris, France under a Fullbright grant. Ms. Roudebush worked in the Middletown school system for 41 years from 1938 until her retirement in 1979. She taught English, French, and mathematics.

Katherine was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, member and past president of the Middletown Teachers Association, life member of the Ohio Education Association, and member and past president of the Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International. Phi Beta Kappa are the initials of the Greek motto Philosophia Biouy Kubernetes, “Love of wisdom, the guide of life”. Family, friends, students, and colleagues would agree that this well described Katherine’s personal and professional life.

She is survived by her brother, Charles C. Roudebush of Milford, OH; and nephews, William K. Roudebush of Denver, Richard A. Roudebush of San Antonio, and Charles K. Roudebush of Seattle. Her brother, Dr. William C. Roudebush of Rosewell, NM, preceded her in death.
