Mrs. Karla Shaffer
The Willard Soccer Program would like to express our deepest sympathy to the Shaffer family in the passing of Mrs. Shaffer. Mrs. Shaffer was a dedicated and devoted member of our school board and was a huge supporter of all school activities and an advocate for children! Willard Superintendent Dr. Kent Medlin released the following statement regarding Mrs. Shaffer:
It saddens my heart today to write this e-mail. As many of you know Karla Shaffer, one of our seated members of the Board of Education passed away this weekend. Karla had been fighting cancer for over a year. During this entire ordeal she remained active on the board and was just re-elected last month. The service will be held in the Willard Middle School gymnasium at 4:00 on Wednesday, May 7th 2008.
Karla had a passion for the Willard School District that was unequaled! Even though I am sad I know in my heart that she is in a better place, healthy, smiling, and probably taking care of a child. I look forward to the day when we meet again!
Note: There will be no practice Wednesday as we know many will be attending the service.
