If memory serves, she was involved in some of our junior plays. I
know whe worked with Yvonne Whitmore on a production in 2009 that I
think Be and Marie may have seen.
My sympathies to Joan Brunger, Shirley and Mike Ellis.

retired in 1991, leaving behind a job she loved and a host of friends.

Jan. 4, I was very fond of her and I'm sure she will be missed. I
believe she helped write some of the plays which were presented at the
school. Marcie Brink-Chaney class of '72
