So sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Newberry. I had several of her business classes, graduating from Hiseville High School in 1964. She was such a sweet person, and what a surprise when I saw that her maiden name is Dearing. My mother’s family were Dearings from the Franklin/Bowling Green area. It’s a beautiful thought after all these years to think that I may have been related to her.
A life well lived and appreciated by everyone with whom she touched. A deep sadness fills my heart as I think about her and the impact she had on the lives of many.

I continue to use the typing skills I learned in Miss Emily’s class at Hiseville High School. How grateful I am for the year I spent under her tutelage.
What a sweet and wonderful teacher. The skills she taught (especially typing) are used almost daily by me and a lot of her students. She left such a great legacy.
