Mrs. Ledbetter was one the great teachers in the lives of many of us. She fostered a love of politics and civics in a lot of her students. Her work with Model Legislature was a call above and beyond her already great work as a teacher. I offer my sympathies to her family. She touched many lives and probably never knew what an inspiration she was to all of us.

Mrs. Ledbetter was a major part of my early adolescence (4th-8th grade) and my early adulthood (9th-12 grade). I will always remember her laugh, her stern lectures that I could do better, her scented tissues on her desk, her driving us to Phoenix to see new movies and her love of theater. You were my mentor and you pushed me to get the education I needed. You will always remain in my heart.

While I never was in one of Mrs. Ledbetter's classes at MHS, I had the opportunity to work with her in my professional capacity and always found her to be dependable, thoughtful and in tune with her students. She also was a good personal friend through my adult life. My deepest sympathies to the entire family.

Mrs. Ledbetter was a crackup, but wouldn't take no crap either. I know because she made me tow the line in class. I thought I was going to die of boredom in her class, but it was anything but boring. I always enjoyed her positive attitude & sense of humor. Best wishes on the other side.

How do you describe a woman who impacted so many with her grace and kindness and inspiration as a teacher there was no one like Mrs. Ledbetter, in my 30's I reach out to her once again and she inspired me to continue with my degree and to pursue my writing, she was the greatest teacher, and taught me that even if we are a little late it is never too late to live your dreams. Blessed Be and Peace give you wings Mrs. Ledbetter, You are a treasure that we shall all miss deeply

I am sincerely sorry to read about Mrs. Ledbetter's death. She made being a part of the first 8th grade class at Miami High not quite so scary. The last time I saw her was at my 30 year reunion, she came in to talk to us for a few minutes. Joking and laughing along with us. You will be missed.

What is this town going to be like without Ms. Ledbetter walking around. You always made my days when I would run into you downtown with your kind words.
What a great lady and teacher we have lost.
God Bless the Ledbetter family and may you find comfort knowing all the lives she has touched.
Prayers are with you.

I worked with Elaine in the early 1970's at Miami High School and we would visit with her at the Miami reunions. She was such a dear person. We are blessed to have known her. Our deepest sympathy to the family.

Mrs. Ledbetter,
You made being a high school student an adventure, not a chore! I can only hope to be the kind of teacher to my students that you were to all of us. You will be missed by all.

Mrs. Ledbetter, you are one of those teachers that touched so many of us in a huge way. Your classes were a huge part of why I became a public servant. Thank you for opening a door to an exciting career.
