One of the best teachers who pushed me to do my best. She was one of the most positive role models in my life who I credit to my love of education and one of the reasons I became a teacher.
The love "Mertie" gave she got back tenfold. Living her life to the fullest surrounded by all the love from kids and grandkids. A great matriarch and will be missed.
She is called home her job is done. A what a great job she did !!
Sincere sympathy to Mary Ellen's family. Only had the pleasure of meeting your mom once, but she was a lady to remember. So sorry for your loss, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
