So sorry to hear this. My husband´s class was the first year she taught! I also had her at Hickory Elementary and then had the pleasure of working with her at Fort Cherry. She always had a smile on her face. What a legacy students she leaves behind who will always remember her. Rest easy Mrs. Davison.
