Mrs. Bettye.
Bettye McGlaughlin.
Told us to call her Mrs Bettye because we would never get her last name right anyway. If I recall the story correctly, she was engaged during WWII, but her fiancé died overseas. She began teaching in the early 50s and never married. She was beloved by the whole community. In the 80s some of her students called her obituary into the local paper as a joke. She was my English teacher in 10th and taught freshman college English our senior year (1999!). My sister who graduated in 2001 had her as well. Mrs Bettye taught over 50 years. Retired around 2006 or so in her late 70s. She was a fire cracker for sure!!! She passed about 10-12 years ago.
