Dr. Katherine Reusing, Head of Northeast Council on Domestic Violence, Passes Away

Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced this week for Dr. Katherine Reusing, Executive Director of the Northeast Georgia Council on Domestic Violence in Hartwell.

Dr. Reusing died suddenly last Wednesday at Emory University after a brief illness.

A decision was made by Board members to continue to hold Saturday’s Polar Bear Plunge in her honor, according to one of the organizers, knowing she would have wanted it to go on.

Dr. Reusing was a life, family, and marriage counselor and for the past 15 years had focused on the issue of domestic violence.

She has been the Executive Director of the Northeast Georgia Council on Domestic Violence since 2012.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete and will be announced later by the family.
