Mrs.Fitch was my son fifth grade teacher. My son always talked about how much she taught him and always nice. Before he passed he wanted me to find her but I didn't know where she lived. Now she's in Heaven with him. RIP

Mrs. Fitch was my 5th grade teacher at South Cleveland. We were the first 5th and 6th graders to move there. I still remember the things she taught us. She was a real good teacher. So sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family.

Nancy and I taught together at Township Three Elementary School. We were then together as members of the Retired Teachers Association here in Shelby. She was a wonderful teacher and a dear friend. I had lost touch with her because of the pandemic,and did not know she was ill. My sympathies and the sympathy of all members of the Cleveland County Chapter of the North Carolina Association of Retired Educators is extended to all her family.
