DAUPHIN • Dr. Marian M. Conrad passed away at her home Thursday, July 25, 2019. She was born March 17, 1934, in Harrisburg Hospital, and was a daughter of Ruth M. (Harman) Maurer. She graduated from Lykens High School class of 1952, Polyclinic School of Nursing 1955 where she received her RN, Lebanon Valley College 1964 earning her BS in nursing and BS in elementary school education and received her Ed.D from Temple University. She worked as a staff nurse at Polyclinic Hospital, Lebanon Veterans Hospital and served as a supervisor of nursing at Osteopathic Hospital. For several years early in her career, she also taught elementary students at Middle Paxton School and Harrisburg School District. Dr. Conrad began her career in nursing education in 1957. Over the next 50 plus years, she taught thousands of nurses at Polyclinic Hospital School of Nursing, Harrisburg Hospital School of Nursing, Harrisburg Area Community College, Pennsylvania State University, Temple University and Thomas Jefferson University. She developed and taught an RN refresher course at HACC. Marian received numerous awards for her teaching skills – such as the 1995 PA Nightingale Award for teaching and the N150D award for excellence in teaching in a Community College.
