Bertha Corine Reynolds Obituary

Graduation Year Class of 1996
Date of Passing Mar 11, 2005
About Yearbook and Newspaper advisor, photo teacher, and english. She use to sell Frito Lay during lunch with her staff for years at room 3G, then was moved to other side of school. Her last year of teaching was 1996. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 06/11/2004, but it has spread so far by then that we were told she would be lucky to have made it another month. She was a fighter though and made it intil March 11, 2005. A month later we lost my dad too. I want my mom to be remembered in some way for all the awards for yearbook and newspaper her students with her help were able to get while she was teaching there. My devoted her all AJHS, in fact most of my memories as a kid were filled with time at the school in one way or another. My mom was also top teacher in the whole state of Arizona back in the 80's all while teaching at a small school like AJ and from what I have always understood that not something easy to do, getting a small school noticed with all the other big ones that have lots of money to support. I just think AJ owes to my mom to remember her in some way.
