HENDERSONVILLE, TEnn. (WTVF) — A Sumner County Board of Education member announced the death of a teacher in the district after a car wreck in Knoxville.
Allen Lancaster, of District 3, said Jeanette Gutzman after sustaining injuries from a car wreck while visiting family. She was a sixth-grade English teacher T. W. Hunter Middle School and taught for 25 years.
"My condolences and prayers to her family and friends and to the staff that was her extended family at Hunter," Lancaster wrote. "Also, be in prayer for her students, both past and present, whose lives she touched both in the classroom and outside of it. She will be deeply missed by so many."
No arrangements were announced for Gutzman at this time.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
