Community mourns MHS vocal music director

Former MHS vocal music director Kathryn Petrich, who had resigned June 30 to begin a new job at Walled Lake High School near Detroit, was found dead in her Battle Creek home July 6. A bus load of 50 of her former choir students attended her funeral Friday in Flint and sang pieces she had taught them to sing for concerts this past school year, according to Petrich friend, Rhonda Stepp. Another memorial service at her Battle Creek Church is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, July 26. See today's Chronicle for reflections on Petrich and her 12 year career with Marshall Public Schools.

Kathy was a wonderful person and will be missed. She stood up for the students and staff at Marshall. The treatment that she received over the last few years was wrong. Rest in Peace Kathy.
