Mrs. young was my teacher at Daingerfield Jr. high. She was a awesome and wonderful teacher who really cared about her students. I will never forget her telling me to come her to the front of the class for talking or not paying attention and thumping me on the forehead or user that ruler of hers. She taught me a lot and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity of knowing her as my cousin, teacher, and friend. May God continue to bless the family and give them strength each and every day.
I extend my deepest sympathy to the family at such a sorrowful time. I honor the life of a beautiful woman. May she find rest beyond the clouds. – Lovingly, Katrina Evans-Dobbs & family
