Mrs. Lennox was my second grade teacher at Christ the King in the 1961-62 school year. I remember her kindness and gentle manner - she was a very special woman who positively affected the lives of hundreds and hundreds of children. What a legacy she left...I will always remeber her with fond and loving thoughts. God bless; peace to your family.

I remember being so excited that I was to have Mrs. Lennox as my 2nd grade teacher at Christ the King I couldn't wait for school to start. Two of my older siblings had her also. Even though I am middle aged and a college graduate, she is still my favorite teacher. I was extremely shy and slower to read than my peers, but she took the time and helped me discover my passion for reading. I have three teens now who have heard the wonderful stories I've told them about my amazing saint like teacher.They still say, "I wish we had Mrs. Lennox as a teacher." Heaven is blessed with her presence.

Mrs. Lennox was the first adult I met at Christ the King when I transferred there in 2nd grade. She was, is and will always be my favorite teacher. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out who lived her faith and set a shining example for all of us to follow. She was truly a living saint, and I am truly blessed and honored to have been her student.

What a legend Mrs. Lennox was to all of us who were lucky enough to have her as our teacher during our most formative years. She is the first teacher who shined the light on books for me. My love of reading is the result of the teacher I will never forget. Heartfelt condolences to the family- Tracey Rossana-Reinholt

To the Lennox family, You were blessed with a wonderful Mom who molded so many lives. Mrs. Lennox was my favorite teacher. I remember her gentle, and encouraging teaching style. She taught us more that reading and writing. She taught us to be kind. I also remember the special treat of being invited to her home and meeting her daughter Candy. I still have the medal she gave me for my First Communion. Love to you all and healing for your loss.

My heartfelt condolences to the Lennox family. Mrs. Lennox taught all four of my daughters at Christ the King School during the late 1960s and early 1970s. She was such a gentle woman, and it was obvious how much she loved and cherished all her students. She is truly deserving of an eternal reward. She lived a long, full life, but it is always too soon to lose a mother. Prayers are with you all. Pat (O'Brien) Slusser
