Mrs. Ellis was the teacher who never gave up on me! She was a life changer! I just found out of her passing as I was looking her up for Teacher Appreciation week. What an amazing woman! I can't even imagine all the lives she touched, and changed! She sure was someone special in my life!
R.I.P Mrs Ellis.

Jackie was a fantastic teacher and I loved her spirit and zest for life in teaching her students. I was the clinic attendant in the 90's and she came in to always check her blood pressure. She will be missed may her family find peace and love in her memories.
