I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Cousins before she retired. She was a dedicated, hard working teacher. I often wondered how she was and am so pleased that she lived such a long life and was blessed with grandchildren and a great grandchild. I know that she will be greatly missed, but I hope the memories of a life well lived will bring you comfort.

To JD, Edna and family: Please accept my sincere concolences in the passing of your loved one.
I will always remember Mrs. Cousins. She became a forever part of my life when I entered the 3rd grade at Navy Hill Elementary School. I can still hear her saying, "....now I have Mouth McLean." She was a tough, but very sweet and caring teacher, the kind our children need today. I wish I'd had the chance to see her before she passed, just to say "I never forgot you".

Ms. Cousins will always have a permanent place in our minds and in our hearts. She was a classy little lady with a lot of spunk and was not afraid to say what was on her mind. We extend our deepest sympathy to the family.
