Elizabeth J. Tusing

I have great memories of Ms. Tusing. She was always kind and compassionate. I will never forget our Spanish class trip to Mexico. She will be missed.

Miss Tussing was the first person to truly believe that I could be a Spanish teacher. She gave me opportunities to help her in the classroom and to pursue the education field. I am very grateful to her, may she rest in peace.

Miss Tusing was my Spanish teacher & truly one of the best. Such a kind & caring person. She took me on an IntraAmerican Student Tour to Mexico in the summer of 1974. What great memories we made with our group. She was always so kind to our Spanish speaking exchange students. She was a caring mother figure to them when they were scared, homesick, etc. I got to take one of those students to her house a few years ago when they were here visiting me. It was wonderful to see them...

Ms. Rising was my high school Spanish teacher. I learned a lot from her and her upbeat manner always made it a class I enjoyed. She will be missed.
