A local teacher who recently had the flu has died.
Middle-school teacher and volleyball coach, Cathryn Kearns, had just turned 38. She passed away Friday.
We're learning about how the school and its students plan to remember her for live reports on Channel 2 Action News This Morning.
Her close friend Kim Kozak told Channel 2's Carl Willis she has known Kearns since they were both 14 years old.
She said Kearns lived a life of service -- training and fundraising for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk and giving to the Ronald McDonald House.
"I think her retirement job would have been … she always said she would work for a charity," Kozak said
Beyond her service, Kearns poured herself into her work at Sutton Middle School in northwest Atlanta,
impacting students and her volleyball players with her passion for teaching.
