In Memory of
Dr. Rita G. Zerr

It is with sadness we share the news of the passing of a long-time KDP champion and Eleanor Roosevelt Chapter member, Dr. Rita G. Zerr.
Dr. Zerr was a dedicated KDP member for 60 years and she shaped generations of educators as Chapter Counselor for Epsilon Beta at Tulane University from 1974–1996. Dr. Zerr was known for taking a genuine, personal interest in students and for mentoring teachers through every step of their professional journey. She taught in the New Orleans Public Schools and was a professor for Elementary School Teachers at Tulane.
Her lifelong dedication to KDP and teaching excellence earned her many distinctions, including the Lucinda Rose Counselor Award, induction into the Eleanor Roosevelt Chapter, and a position on the Executive Council. She will be greatly missed by her KDP family. 🕯️
