Susan (Sue) Katchpole, more commonly known as “Katch” was an inspirational fixture at Fontbonne for nearly four decades, where she was a beloved teacher, nurse, coach, colleague, and friend. Her students were her passion where she inspired young women to become leaders and to instill the values of integrity and courage, as well as the importance of creating solid relationships. With a unique combination of strength, humor, and compassion, she dedicated her life to supporting hundreds of young women and was instrumental in helping to improve and develop the Fontbonne Physical Education and Health curriculum. Sue lost a valiant battle to cancer in February 2019.
