    She was always one of my favorite teachers. I have many happy memories of the one we affectionately called “Bambi”. She will be missed by her many friends. Peace.

    She is the teacher that comes to mind when being asked who my favorites were. She taught me how to type, recordkeeping, and how to write my first check. The nice part was she was friendly! I always learned better from the nice teachers! Thoughts are with her family….

    Thank you to everyone for your wonderful memories of my aunt. She was a wonderful woman who loved teaching and her students. Family, friends, history and golf were just some of her passions and interests. Her impact on my life has been immeasurable.
