Marlene "Molly" H. Gatz

April 13, 1931 — October 29, 2019

Born in Omaha, Molly spent her childhood in Webster City, Iowa, returning to Omaha for college and for

the rest of her life. She is survived by a sister, Joan Gatz. The two lived together their whole lives.

Molly spent 14 years as a high school English teacher at North High and 21 years as a counselor at

Benson High. She loved her students and they loved her, many becoming lifelong friends. Molly never

met a person she did not like. She loved to travel, in the United States and in Europe. She particularly

enjoyed trips to England. She also enjoyed reading, visits with friends and former students, and the

Irish terriers she spent many years owning and training. She will be lamented by many on earth and

those in heaven will welcome her with gladness. Many thanks to VNA Home Health Care and Hospice

and Senior Helpers for their kind and loving care. Private funeral.
