I was blessed to have worked with Ms. Hale as a teacher at Southeast Middle . As a teacher at Southeast Middle we taught on the sixth grade hall together. She was such a caring teacher to her students . I remember while teaching at Southeast I was involved in a very serious car accident. Debbie , Paula and Dana came up with a menu to feed me and my family for a week . Debbie showed up at the door with that precious smile of hers, hands outstretched. My family and I will always remember this...

My mom "Sugar" always looked forward to the Christmas package from Debbie. I appreciate how thoughtful she was to stay in contact with mom. It meant a lot to all of us. We are so sorry for your loss. George and Carol Ann Taylor

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Mrs. Hale. I heard about and met Mrs. Hale when my daughter, Monica Kimbrough, was a student teacher and teacher at Sherwood Middle Magnet.

Thank you, Mrs. Hale and may God give comfort to your family.

As a teacher at Sherwood Middle Magnet, she was a very giving teacher; to her students, fellow teachers, student teachers, and administration.
