Friends and family of SueAnn Thayer Kratzer have generously established a new scholarship to be awarded yearly at Berea-Midpark High School.

SueAnn graduated from Berea High School in 1973. She was very involved in swimming, was an Aquateen at Berea High School, taught swim lessons and lifeguarded in the community.  She had a successful career in the garment business, first as a buyer at May Company, Gold Circle, Bullocks, and Millers Outpost, then transitioned to sales and later became Vice President of Sales for RAJ SWIMWEAR.  SueAnn was fiercely loyal and developed an extensive circle of close friends from grade school through college.

The new SueAnn Thayer Kratzer Memorial Scholarship will be awarded for the first time in May 2019 to a BMHS graduating senior member of the swim team. For more criteria or to donate to the SueAnn Thayer Kratzer Memorial Scholarship fund, please click here.
