Mildred Kiser Everman, teacher

Mrs. Everman, a teacher for 26 years at Newport Elementary School and the Northern Kentucky Vocational School, continued her college education after earning her teaching certificate.

"She graduated in the spring, and I graduated in the summer," Miss Everman said.
Mrs. Everman, 89, of Fort Mitchell, died Wednesday at her residence.
She grew up in Carter County, where her father was a preacher, and decided early in life that she wanted to become a teacher.
Mrs. Everman enjoyed gardening and being with her family and friends. She also enjoyed attending Calvary Baptist Church in Latonia.
"I think she loved people. She loved to do things for them," Miss Everman said.
"Mother was an outgoing person. She was an entertainer who loved to have people over."
Mrs. Everman's husband, Clyde Everman, died in 1996.
