CHICAGO -- For 18 years at Bell Elementary School on Chicago's North Side, one teacher's impact went well beyond her classroom. And now, she will be forever missed.
Family members say beloved retired music teacher Kathleen Pepin passed away on January 19 at the age of 69. The oldest of four girls, the Chicago native had long prepared for a lifelong career in education and mentorship. "We worked together to produce Broadway musicals and talent shows," said Alison Newberry, a creative technology teacher at Bell. "Kathy had this uncanny knack to just recognize talent in students."
"I think about her every single day," Goldberg said."Not just the papers with her name on it, and her key ring that still has her writing on it. I really every day just try and make the culture of music at Bell even remotely as vibrant."
