This was evident in her steadfast march through many degrees and doctrines in Education which yielded over 25 years in this very district. Her dedication across all was only matched by her love of the same." It further read, "Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them.

Church, who was operating the ATV, and Yarborough, a passenger, were struck by the automobile after Church failed to surrender, as per court filings. × Rate this story! Thank You!
