Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Ross was my first grade teacher. I adored her! I loved school and spending my day with her, and she taught me how to read! She was so kind, sweet and loving to each of her students. Those are teaching traits I tried to imitate every day of my own 35 year teaching career. The lives she touched and seeds she planted will live on forever!❤ My sympathy to her family.

I enjoyed visiting with her. She was always so friendly! Her generosity was well known. Res In Peace lovely lady!

A very special lady. Sympathies, Kim and Paul Ness family

I was truly privileged to have spent my 2nd grade year with Mrs. Ross. She didn't just make the process of learning a delight but also the experience of being a mini human every day. She taught me that adults can still make and believe in magic if they chose to. And to never lose that. She also taught me to remember people. Many years after I left her class I received a piece of writing from when I was in her class with a note from her. I am grateful for having learned from her.

Mrs. Ross was my first grade reading teacher and instilled a love for the printed word that continues to this day. In my formative years, she continuously challenged me to read books beyond my core interests as a means of expanding my knowledge and broadening my world view. Mrs. Ross was a passionate and dedicated teacher, and I have always considered myself blessed to have been one of her students.

Dianne, so sorry for your loss, your sister was so kind to our family. God Bless Her Memory!
