Good morning NCBVI Team,

 

I received sad news that Kathy Brown-Hollins passed away Wednesday evening.
Kathy was a valued member of the NCBVI team forapproximately 16 years. 

 

Just to share a few highlights of Kathy's impact  on members of the blind
community. Kathy was a licensed RN  prior to participating  in center
training. She completed training at our Orientation center in Lincoln  as a
client and then went right back through training after being hired as an
Orientation counselor. She worked as an Orientation and Vocational
Rehabilitation Counselor during her tenor at NCBVI. 

 

Kathy was a wonderful role model for blind professionals and consumers
alike.  She promoted positive belief in blindness and encouraged others to
set high standards for themselves. Kathy was a member of the Omaha
Association of the Blind and participated in activities such as   the Omaha
Triathlon  and she obtained her certification  in the One Touch self-defense
program.  Many of you have your personal experiences with Kathy  that you
could hold on to during this time of loss. We will miss her however her
impact will always be remembered. 

 

We will share any information regarding funeral arrangements when we receive
them. Take care everyone.

 

Kind Regards,

Timothy L Jefferson
