Obituary of Jeanne Shub PhD

Jeanne (Maller) Shub, 71. died on February 20, 2013 .Jeanne was an elementary school teacher for several years before receiving a PhD in educational psychology from the University at Albany. Her psychotherapy practice helped countless patients, mostly children and their parents. She also developed a teacher-training program, "Interplay", that has been used in numerous school districts in the Capitol Region, described in a book by that title with co-author Amy Deweerd. For over thirty years she had a series of serious illnesses, some of which would have dominated the lives of most people, but she endured them while maintaining her loving commitment to family and patients. After retirement, until her death, she conceived and directed a program, "Opening Doors" with pre-school and Head Start classes in Troy, to help children become successful students. Survivors include her husband David, daughter Hwalan, sister Julie Altshuler (Alan), brother Michael Maller (Jennifer), brother-in-law Michael (Beate) and their extended families. A memorial service will be scheduled in the future
