Marsha Kay Klosterman A leader, friend, and a wife, mother and grandmother
September 23, 1951 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a wonderful woman, Marsha "Kay" Klosterman, Director of the Colerain Township Senior & Community Center after her long battle with cancer. Kay, as she was known to everyone, had an indescribable energy about her. She never met a stranger and became friends with everyone she met. Kay had a tremendous compassion towards the seniors at the Senior & Community Center. With a master's degree in education, Kay left teaching to help run the seniors program in Whitewater Township. In January of 1993, she came to Colerain Township and was charged with developing a well-rounded program that would meet the needs of the senior community. In the seventeen years that she served as director, she developed an always-changing busy itinerary of classes and activities that included art, dance, exercise, and much more. Kay had the following to say about her job here in an interview highlighting her for the Colerain Township quarterly newsletter: "Though I trained for a career in education, I'm not disappointed by the path I've chosen. I'm in the best place, and I wake up each morning excited about what lies ahead. " Kay's excitement about her work showed and her guidance led to the following:
Kay led the way in innovative programming for Seniors and was very conscientious of their needs. She will be greatly missed by all of us at the Township, by our residents, and by her three children, six grandchildren and loving and devoted husband Rick.
