I enjoy Ms Jennie as my teacher. My parents Sue and Lewis Haigler bought her home on Woodland Drive in 1978.
I celebrate her life well lived as a servant of our Lord.
Blessing and prayers to the family.

Mrs Cox taught me in fourth grade, and she was wonderful. I remember her strong educational values and that she cared for her students. May she rest in peace. Your all in my prayers during this time of grief.
Ms Jennie was my Great Grandmother’s neighbor on Fulton Ave. I always enjoyed my conversations with her – she will be missed.
Carolyn, I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Mrs. Jennie Carolyn was such a special lady. She was one of my favorite teachers. I also enjoyed seeing her at Mrs. Mary Frances’ house all the time!! I know you will miss her but what a friendship reunion there was in heaven!!
I am sorry to hear about this. Mrs.Cox was one of my teachers at WA. She was a sweet lady. My condolences to her family.
Carolyn and Charles, Mrs. Cox was my favorite substitute teacher. She was a wonderful teacher and a beautiful lady. She will be missed by many.
Ms. Jennie Carolyn was my 4th grade teacher and her, along with Aunt Sallie and Aunt Ruby sat behind us in church every Sunday. My mom, (Harriet Bartell Ryan) always warned me not to embarrass her in front of Aunt Sallie, Aunt Ruby and Ms. Jennie Carolyn by me misbehaving in church.
This wonderful Lady will certainly be missed. Her beautiful smile and friendly attitude set her apart as one of the most caring persons I’ve ever know! My thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
