Edith Ingunza literally saved my life when I was in junior high school. she was open and supportive and made school safe for me. i love and miss her.

I remember Mrs. Ingunza as a wonderful teacher, she was one of my favorites. I enjoyed her class thoroughly, she nurtured my love of science and always encouraged me to pursue my love of biology. I will never forget the maple cake she made for my birthday one year, it was delicious! I am saddened to learn of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are extended to her family.
