One of my favorite teachers back in the early 1990's. She was my PE teacher. She was always making us laugh. We had to work hard-but she made it fun. She made enough of an impact that I immediately recalled my time in her class when I came upon her notice of her passing. So sorry for your loss-to the family. I will always remember her smile, her laughter and her kindness.

One of mankind greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live with fleeting moments of remembrances. Mable touched my life at such an early age as she did so many other young African American girls in our community. Her encouraging, supportive and compassionate teaching-basketball-life coaching of the girls on her basketball team gave me the confidence to push beyond my fears to achieve my personal and professional goals. God thank you for Mable, she will be missed. Milburn and Mia, My prayers and thoughts are with you during your loss.
