Abstract

Presents an obituary for Diane T. Marsh (1941-2016). A retired faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg, she made substantial contributions to children's mental health, families affected by mental illness, and psychology education. During her 33 years at Pitt-Greensburg, Diane mentored many faculty members. She offered coauthorships to junior faculty on her book contracts, advised them on teaching, and helped many reach higher levels of research and professionalism. As a recipient of the Catherine Acuff Congressional Fellowship in 2003, Diane had the opportunity to influence public policy while working for U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman. One example of her influence was a Medicare law cosponsored by Bingaman that improved preventative and mental health services and enhanced benefits to low-income and rural populations.
