Memorial Service Monday For Renfroe Teacher

A memorial service for Renfroe Middle School teacher Stacey Daniel will be held Monday afternoon in the Decatur High gymnasium.

A memorial service for Stacey Daniel, a Renfroe Middle School language arts teacher who died Oct. 29, will be held 5:30-7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 5, at the Decatur High School gymnasium.

The family has not announced when a funeral will be held, but a funeral notice was posted online. Gus Thornhill's Funeral Home of East Point will handle arrangements. (Update: The funeral was held last Saturday).

The City Schools of Decatur sent out this email late Wednesday.

A program has been lovingly planned by current and former Renfroe Middle School faculty, students and families.  Ms. Daniel's principals, colleagues, and students will reflect on the greatest lessons they learned from Ms. Stacey Daniel.  Her life will be celebrated through prose, poetry, music and dance.
