Mrs. Chubac was like my all time favourite childhood teacher. I was in her JK class, at St Margarets School, in 1980. Once I hit grade 6, 8 years later, I became her JK helper. I knew her neighbours and seen her when I visited them. She was grooming her yard many of times but I always enjoyed seeing her out and about. She was a beautiful lady who always looked stunning. The best part about her was her soothing voice and compassionate way of communicating with children. My mother also adored her. Rest Easy and know your Wife, Sister and Aunt was a blessing in so many peoples lives.
