Mrs. Larson was my first teacher. I was in her Kindergarden class in 1941. I am 74....my goodness, she lived a long life.
I remember we had a baby shower for her in class, she was expecting her son that year. My brother also was in her Kdg. class a few years later. Yes....I always think of her as one of my favorite teachers. Many of us in that class in 1941 went all through HS together and graduated in 1954.

I had the pleasure of having "Mrs. Larson" as my teacher while at Hoover Elementary School. My older sister also had Mrs. Larson as her teacher. During my entire life, when speaking about schools and teachers, I have ALWAYS said "Mrs. Larson" was my favorite teacher. She truly was. She was a wonderful teacher, always kept us entertained and it was clear, even at age 7 or 8 that she loved her job. My heart goes out to you and your family for your loss.
