I'm so sorry for your loss.
We will be praying for the family.
She taught me English in the 8th grade.
She would always say "ain't isn't a word." Lol
Such an amazing woman! I always respected her and often thought of her. I was saddened to hear this news.
Again, we are praying for peace and comfort in the coming days.
I had her for Home-Economics at Lamar. I remember she was a very good teacher/instructor. May she rest in peace and may God be with her family in this difficult time.
Not only was she a great teacher, but also a great friend. My son had her, and had her for cub scouts also. Her son and my son went to school together from kindergarten to high school. She was a fantastic woman.
I think of her often when I use things I learned from her in Home Economics, and when I taught middle school English at Lamar.

I loved Anne and enjoyed any time spent with her. I remember many conversations with her when we worked together and later when we did puzzles together.
