I’m heartbroken to hear of Miss Woods passing. She was an amazing woman, teacher and friend. She had a huge impact on my life and she’s been a big inspiration. She was truly a beautiful person. I still have the book she gave me for Christmas in 3rd grade and the post cards she sent me. She’s always been my favorite teacher and I love her dearly. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
Wishing your family comfort in memories. She was a kind and loving teacher. She was one of my favorites. One memory of her is that she would give you a See’s caramel lollipop on your birthday and sing Happy Birthday on the piano. She was a dear and made you feel special.

She was my 3rd grade teacher and the BEST teacher I EVER had. I LOVED her so much that she was actually at my wedding. She had a heart of gold and a lover for her students. She will be greatly missed and still thought of often.
We are so sorry for your loss. Praying for peace for you all.
