| degree in English/American literature from Texas Tech University; | ||
| after teaching English at Mackenzie Middle School, she joined the | ||
| faculty at Frenship High School, and she also taught at the Smith | ||

| devoted to her children and adored taking Christopher to see his | ||
| grandmother and on camping trips; generous and compassionate, she | ||
| reached out to those who were suffering and offered love and hope to | ||
