The Atlanta Public Schools superintendent announced funeral dates and arrangements for an elementary school principal who died in her sleep last week.
Susan Crim-McClendon, 60, was the principal of Woodson Park Academy and the daughter of Alonzo Crim, Atlanta’s first African-American school superintendent. She died Wednesday, according to APS.
A viewing and a wake has been scheduled from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, March 1, at Alfonso Dawson Mortuary, 3000 Martin Luther King Jr., Drive.
A funeral service will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 2, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 3050 Cascade Road SW.
