Margaret "shenendoah" Sloan

16 June, 1968 - 24 October 2023

Surface name: Margaret Sloan

Shenendoah, also known as Kathleen, attended shokhootahn Rehn's very first D'ni language class, back in 2008, and more recently became an Instructor herself as shokhootahn Shen.

She found MOUL on Game Tap in October of 2007. Before she knew it, it was 4:00AM and she was hooked!

She started coming to r'Tayrtahn's Story Night in November of 2007 and was the longest sitting member of that audience.

When the cavern closed in 2008, she migrated to Second Life along with many of the other D'ni Refugees and maintained an active presence there until 2016

She also was a member of the Guild of Instructors, taught several people the D'ni language, mentored some of her students as they taught others, and, as a result, was the only instructor to rise to the level of Guild Master in that guild. She will be missed by all who knew her.

When the cavern reopened in 2010, she returned with many of us refugees.

Though she had been around the block a few times, she still managed to maintain her naivete, looked for the best in other people, and never had a cross word to say (to or about) anyone. As a result, she was loved by all who knew her.

She loved all forms of humor and was particularly fond of Henny Youngman.

She had a bout with cancer in 2016. When she returned to the cavern, she started using her Kathleen avatar. It is unknown if she had a recurrance of that cancer or if she passed due to some other cause.

She is survived by a husband and a son.

Memberships: Uru Live Forums (Oct 2007); Guild of Instructors.
