She was 89.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Ms. O’Leary joined the faculty and staff in 1993 after an already full career in school counseling, first as a high school guidance counselor at the former St. John’s High School in Plattsburgh and then at Clinton Community College as its registrar and later a counselor in the counseling department. She retired as the director of counseling in 1991. Missing the interaction between faculty, staff and students, she started teaching as an adjunct lecturer in human resources at SUNY Plattsburgh less than two years later. She became staff assistant in Career Life Planning in August 1996 and began teaching as an adjunct in child and family services in September 1997. Ms. O’Leary retired in November 1999.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Calling hours will be held Saturday, Sept. 16 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the R.W. Walker Funeral Home, 69 Court St., Plattsburgh.
