last month urging people to enjoy life and"let go of the insignificant things."
"When you have recurrent laryngeal cancer that just won't take no for an answer, you have a lot of time to think about death. The good thing is I no longer have to worry about saving for retirement, paying off student loans, or trying not to get skin cancer???" she wrote. In March 2018, the McDowell Intermediate High School teacher had a partial laryngectomy, a surgical procedure to remove a portion of her voice box.
She wrote in her obituary that after her cancer returned for the fourth time, she took a trip to Mexico to visit Chichén Itzá, the Mayan ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula.
