I knew her and was taught by her on those special occasions in my 8th grade PE class during the 1968/69 school year. She was a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher and coach. May her memory always be a blessing to those who new and loved her.

  16. She was a great Basketball Coach & friend. She always gave me great advice, but I was not talented enough for basketball
    & being a cheerleader, so she encouraged me to choose the thing I enjoyed most. After a lot of thought & consideration I gave up basketball. But I missed our daily interaction greatly.
