When Trintonial and I , Started looking for halls for the class reunion, We ran across the Marsha Corprew Garden Center. We were sadden because of the news, but delighted that it was named in her honor. She must have been loved by many people and touched many lives. I am so glad I had her as a teacher.Rest in peace ... Mrs Corprew.
