My prayers go out to this family. I worked at Hattiesburg High School for fourteen years as a guidance Counselor. Mrs. McCrory and I became acquainted during that time as co-workers on the HHS staff. She became one of my best friends who loved and care about the welfare of all students. She was an asset to the Hattiesburg Community and will be missed.

I loved MRS McCrory. she taught me at BLair High School, aka Hattiesburg High around 1972/73. I graduated in 1973. She had a major impact on the typist I still am today. She was awesome, and beautiful too. RIP sweet lady, I will see you again......

I was a student of Mrs McCrory in 1968. She was a major factor in my receiving my diploma and encouraging me to succeed and many others. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. WA Payne
