Dr. Marilyn Rose Schultz

Wow, I'm truly saddened to hear about this. Marilyn was an inspiring teacher. I was her pupil at UT from 1991-95 and she embodied the notion that there was a great, big world out there to cover. I've been fortunate to see much of that world and it is in no small part due to her. She'll be missed.

Marilyn was an amazing teacher, in the true sense. She cared deeply about her students. She taught us how to be compasionate without being weak. What a woman.

So one last time for you our lovely Mer.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when sky are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away"

I spent three semesters in the Broadcast Journalism Sequence at UT from 1992-93 while Marilyn headed the department.

Marilyn was poised for greatness even in high school. She was a cheer leader all four years and captain of the squad when she was a senior. She was an honor student and participated in debate, choir, and theater. As a strong feminist and journalist, she certainly made her mark in the world.

Marilyn was a high school classmate..... and I have sent an e-mail to notify the class of her death.

My sympathy to her family and friends.
