So sorry to hear about her passing. She was my fifth grade teacher at Brentwood elementary in Pensacola, Florida. 1984-1985). She was tough but fair, and I learned more that year in school than in any other. Thank you for being a great teacher. I pray for your family. Rest in heaven.

My heart is heavy as we say goodbye to my aunt — a woman who was so much more than an aunt to me. A amazing strong, steady, lady to me and many others.
She was the last of my dad's siblings, and with her passing, the closing of a beautiful chapter in our family feels especially profound.
I will carry her strength and love with me always. 💔
