She taught for twenty two years and received many honors including teacher of the year. She retired in 2009 and became a grandmother in 2012 which she later called her “dream job”. One of her greatest joys was being able to care for her grandchildren while her daughter worked.

Bourne, daughters Amanda Elizabeth Bourne and Kate Bourne Colbert (William) both of Madison, Mississippi; grandchildren Ella Bourne Colbert and Lawson Gray Colbert.
