Marg was my biology teacher in high school, and am sad she is gone but pleased she was “full of years.”
She was reluctant to let me take Bio 20 and 30 in the same year (1987) but we persevered and due to her excellent pedagogy, I passed with high grades! She made Biology so much fun!
I pity the grief of her family, but you have had a treasure in your family to cherish. Now cherish each other. (And expect more tributes from students).
