A Heart of Gold Jacquelyn Coleman Gilmore had a Heart of Gold. If you met her, you loved her. She was a people person and loved everybody. Compassionate she was and always showed concern for others. She was caring and often putting the needs of others before hers. Her love for children was phenomenal as well as parents of her students. She was mother to many. Kindheartedness was truly demonstrated as a trait of hers. She would give, give, and give. If she promised something, she always wanted to make it true. A doer, she was. If she was given a task, she would do a superb job and always beyond expectations. She always wanted things just right. Even though a scientist, she loved beauty. She was a lovely person. A friend, Mary Ann Washington. Deku
