She was always kind and sweet!!!
She was my daughter’s teacher in K3, ( she is 27 now) , she will always go twice a week to my home to teach her as well, she was always helpful and had such a great heart .After she retired we would see her at Burlington. I know she is in a better place now🙏❤️ I was just asking my daughter last night if she remembered Mrs: Scarborough and here I find out she passed away😔 Thank you for everything you did for my children✨️
