I never had the pleasure of having her as a teacher or tutor,however I do remember all the time you would see her in the halls at CHS, she was ALWAYS smiling and so full of joy. My thoughts and prayers go out to Stan, Nick (and family), and Gabbe (and family). Blessings to you all.

I had her as a tutor when I was in school and she was one of the nicest teachers I've ever had. She was more than just a teacher for me, she always had a listening ear and the type of person that would help you anyway she could. She loved all of her students and strived to get the best out of them. Though we have lost a loved one here on Earth.....Heaven has gained a angel. My thoughts are prayers are with the Cronk family. God Bless
