Buongiorno

She spent 30 years giving students what they needed to succeed. Even after her death, she was still giving. ❤️

When Georgia teacher Tammy Waddell passed away, she had one final request: no flowers at her funeral. Instead, bring backpacks filled with school supplies for children in need.

And people listened.

Hundreds of backpacks filled the church, packed with notebooks, pencils, and other essentials that would later be placed into the hands of students who needed them most.

After three decades in the classroom, Tammy’s final act was not about herself. It was about making sure children could walk into school prepared to learn.

Flowers eventually fade. Her gift kept going.

A teacher for 30 years, and a teacher until the very end. ❤️
