Dr Sebree was a pillar in the Kentucky State University Alumni Asso. and served as a mentor to many in the Mid-West Region. She was always teaching leadership and people skills!

Will always remember how she impacted my child, Tedra´s, life.

As a 1985 Rogers graduate, I am so saddened to hear of the passing of our wonderful teacher. Mrs. Sebree was such a major influence in my life. She made me feel valued and I always knew she believed in me. I didn´t pursue a degree in music but I have continued to sing throughout my life: weddings, church, and community theater. Mrs. Sebree was fundamental in instilling in me a true love and appreciation for music. I will never forget her. (And I can´t believe she put up with all of our high...

Mrs. Sebree was instrumental in my child, Tedra Green's life. Tedra was in the Rogers High School choir. She gave her a music scholarship to Kentucky State University, Frankfort, Kentucky. Tedra received a Bachelor's Degree majoring in Music. Tedra went on to share her gift teaching Music in the Toledo Public Schools, singing in a community gospel group, and teaching individuals piano lessons. Many thanks to Dr. Sebree for the part she played in my child's music history. I am sure Tedra...

Mr. Sebree, and everyone else who Loves Mrs. Sebree, God Bless You. And, may He comfort you and Keep you in the palm of His hand--and wipe away every tear 'til your hearts heal. I am broken, right along with you. Mr. Sebree knows what my relationship with them was like: spending more than half of my day in her classroom (Rhythmaires/Theory/Concert Choir, Student Aide), mowing their lawn when they vacationed to Hawaii, ushering and singing Hawaiian songs at her "Pele's Tears" book...

My heart ....I will always remember her love and passion along with the correction (I was so much like her). From Rogers and K-State....I love you.

To the family, I will always cherish the time I spent with Shirley at Rogers HS and on many concert choir tours as a chaperone. We ate lunch together daily. She was an outstanding educator and a wonderful friend. She will be missed. I send this with greatest sympathy.

When I was 18 she taught me to sing ...in the choir.. she was always there for me.never let me give up.she was firm with us.... And me never to give up.even now I remember her words to me... Never give up on what you love.she said.love u Mrs sebree I'll kiss u sorry for her family s loss xxxxx

To Shirleys Family. I too taught music in TPS but didn't hold a candle to her talent. She was the best. God bless all of you. She is directing the angel choir. Listen......
