A Memorable Coach Continues to Touch Lives

It’s hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember.

For female athletes, coaches, and parents of Jasper High School, Coach Pat Zehr paved the way for women’s sports. As Jasper’s first women’s volleyball and track and field coach, Pat led team after team to success. More importantly, Coach Zehr’s positive influence on countless Jasper athletes and passion for competition pushed her school to excellence. Dr. Nancy E. Otte established the Pat Zehr Memorial Scholarship Fund not only to commemorate Pat’s accomplishments, but to allow a beloved coach’s legacy to continue giving back to Jasper female athletes forever. Coach Pat Zehr died in 2011. but this year through her endowment, she will help send a female athlete to college.
