Hundreds are expected to attend the funeral Tuesday afternoon for the Cobb County kindergarten teacher allegedly shot to death by her mother-in-law.
Jenna Wall, a mother of two, taught at Kemp Elementary School in Powder Springs. Her colleagues and students are among those grieving, her principal said Monday.
“Jenna was a beloved member of the Kemp community — we are all heartbroken,” Principal Shea Thomas said. “She was an excellent teacher, a caring friend and a very loving mother. Her boys were everything to her. Her positive spirit and smile will be greatly missed.”
Wall, 35, died Thursday, and her mother-in-law, Elizabeth Brown Wall, was arrested the same day and charged with murder.
White bows adorned the entrance Monday to the Wyndham Woods neighborhood where Wall lived with her boys, ages 7 and 8, and her parents while she was going through a divorce. Three crape myrtles at the entrance were circled in thin white ribbon and a small bow, and every mailbox in the neighborhood had a matching bow displayed. At the home where Wall died, a cross covered in white flowers sat under two shady trees, which also had bows.
The neighborhood was showing support for a grieving family, homeowners posted on Facebook. On Thursday, neighbors plan to gather for a candlelight vigil at 8:45 p.m. in Wall’s honor.
The funeral for Wall will be Tuesday at 2 p.m. at West Cobb Church in Marietta.
