Marianne McKee has been a mentor, teacher and life-coach to all whom she comes in contact with. Married for 48 years, she has 4 children and 6 grandchildren. She worked for NIPSCO for many years, in jobs normally reserved for men; but she always did it with  pride and consideration of her fellow employees. She is currently a substitute teacher part time, and also assists at summer bible school.  Marianne just recently moved to Kentucky near one of her grandchildren.  In her spare time, Marianne and her husband, Bob, travel the country on their motorcycle.  Marianne is the person who lifts your spirits when you are down.  She always helps with that project that needs a fresh outlook and new idea. She never belittles or chastises anyone for the lack of knowledge be it your computer, your digital camera or your personal affairs. She is the most positive, upbeat person I have ever met.
