Young teacher Julie Kalker, gave to others
The teaching career, and the life, of Julie Anne Kalker were brief, but in the time she had, she gave much to others.
Miss Kalker, 23, of Edgewood, died Saturday at her home. She was a math teacher at McNicholas High School in Cincinnati.
Following graduation from Xavier University in 1997, Miss Kalker volunteered to teach for a year in a poor Catholic parish school in Uvalde, Texas. "She felt she owed something for all of the blessings she had enjoyed," said her father, Jack Kalker of Edgewood.
Miss Kalker came home in 1998, and obtained a teaching job at McNicholas, in the Mount Washington area of Cincinnati.
She was diagnosed with lymphoma last July, and was only able to teach for about two months of the fall term at McNicholas, her father said.
"She fought it for a year. She never gave up," he said.
Miss Kalker was a graduate of Villa Madonna Academy in Villa Hills, where she played volleyball. She received a scholarship to Xavier University, and was in the honors program there, Jack Kalker said.
"She touched a lot of people and she was blessed with having many friends," said her father.
