Deborah Pfetzing, 43, of East Walnut Hills, a teacher and community activist, died Tuesday at Christ Hospital.
Mrs. Pfetzing taught English literature at St. Ursula Academy for 20 years and had just begun a new position at St. Xavier High School.

Mrs. Pfetzing taught all levels of English at St. Ursula and is remembered as an extraordinary teacher of Honors English I, said Fran Romweber, St. Ursula principal.
A graduate of Walnut Hills High School and the University of Cincinnati, Mrs. Pfetzing received many awards for her work in the field of literature, including a Fellowship for Independent Studies in the Humanities.

At St. Ursula, Mrs. Pfetzing served on the Professional Development Committee of the Board of Trustees.
"She was such an influential person in my life," said recent St. Ursula graduate Melissa Masterson. "A wonderful teacher who completely changed me and my writing style."
Greg Saelens, chair of the English department at St. Ursula, said: "Debbie Pfetzing was the finest teacher I have ever known; she developed skills as well as knowledge in her students and she inspired, required and received the very best from her students. She was a kind and generous colleague and friend who was always ready to exchange ideas about teaching or to help mentor a new teacher."
Mrs. Pfetzing had many interests, including French food and wine, flowers, Victorian homes and her family. She traveled extensively in Europe.
