Dr. Katherine Detherage was a wonderful colleague who served as Chair of the Nursing Program at Fisher more than 20 years ago. She was a role model who influenced many nurses and students over the years. She will be missed.

I will Katherine, role model and leader. She was approachable and taught in a manor the student wanted to listen to. A leader for me! And many others!

Katherine was a warm and caring nurse. She was a teacher, a role model, a colleague and a friend to many.
In her quiet, reserved and dignified manner, she paved the way to enhance the future of nursing.
She will be missed but her legacy lives on.
