I am 50 years old now. Mrs. Tite was my 2nd grade teacher at Joy, and she is definitely someone I have talked about over the years. When the subject comes up about your favorite teacher, it was her. I don´t remember the exact year I had her, but she had a red heart pillow made for her with our class names on it! Wonderful woman and my condolences to the family
