Once a Sister, Always a Sister

 Marylee Zurick was one of the intrepid 16 women who organized Chapter JI in 2016. After she and her husband, James Oberwetter, moved to Texas in 2022, Marylee transferred into an Austin-area chapter. 

Five JI sisters met for lunch at the home of Kathie Burson on Monday, August 4, 2025 to catch up with Marylee while she was in Boulder for a visit.
