Mrs. Lanham was one of my favorite teachers in high school. She was fair. She was friendly, and the things she taught me were practical. I use them to this day. I think that this is her legacy. I am sorry for your loss.

Among many other activities she was a beloved Girl Scout Leader and always remembered all her girls. Whenever we would meet she always asked about our daughter and her family.
