Obituary of Marilyn Ats

Marilyn Ats was a long-time teacher of Latin at Minnechaug Regional High School in Wilbraham, Massachusetts located in the Pioneer Valley. She was a consummate educator whose first priority was the well-being and comfort of the young people in her care. She especially shone as a leader in the Junior Classical League community around the Greater Springfield area. Marilyn will be missed by many, and remembered by all who came to know her boundless energy and generous kindness. 

Requiescat in pace.
