Mrs. Huber was my Latin teacher for 2 years at Doherty HS in 1983-84'ish. She was one of those rare teachers who really enjoyed her students and we laughed a lot in class. You'll probably never see this message as it's being written in March of 2022, but I will always remember her kindness and am grateful to have had her as a teacher.

I worked with Karen in the Social Studies Department at Coronado for many years. Her calm demeanor with students and wit were hallmarks of her teaching. We always knew her family was at the heart of everything that she held dear. She will be missed.

Though we only met Karen a few times, I remember her as quite a Lady. I wish I had known her better. Take good care.
