Teaching is in the genes – Love is a language that is learned. It echoes in the actions and words of those we touch during our time on Earth. And for the family of Claudette Culver, that language has been spoken by multiple generations of women.
Sherry Havron, Vicki Apple and Juli Cox are the surviving daughters of Culver. Their mother, whom they laid to rest in April, taught first grade for 22 years at Lawton Public Schools. All three of Culver’s daughters, and two of her granddaughters, have inherited her love of teaching. Culver’s mother also was a teacher. It is a legacy that has been passed down through the family for decades.
In lieu of flowers upon her passing, Culver’s daughters asked friends and loved ones to make a memorial contribution to the LPS Foundation in their mother’s name to assist a student who will attend Cameron University seeking a degree in education.
“Mom is dancing in heaven knowing that those contributions in her name will go toward helping a student that is planning to stay local and major in education,” Havron said. “For us there is no better legacy than to let her love continue for future educators.”
