I just found out Mrs. Coxworth died in 2000. I am 70 years old and she was my Grade 6 teacher at Laura Secord School. I adored her. Her makeup was always on and her hair perfectly done and she wore bright red lipstick. I think it was in her room we did a huge mural on the back wall of the room and it was of Queen Elizabeth's coronation. She was an outstanding teacher and she also spoke often of her husband and her son Thomas. How sad that she lost her husband and her son. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out. - Posted by: Sylvia Huebert (Sorger) (Student of Mrs. Coxworth (Grade 6)) on: Dec 04, 2012
