A member of our Arp Tiger family has gone to be with our Lord. Mrs. Karen Lynch, a long time substitute teacher for Arp ISD, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday Dec. 3. She was 61 years old. "Mrs. Lynch had the kindest heart, absolutely loved kids, and adored Arp ISD," said Arp Elementary principal Stephanie Schminkey. "She was always so happy and positive when she subbed for us." As a school district, we would like to send our deepest condolences to her family and all those affected. Mrs. Lynch was an extremely valuable asset as she was capable of stepping in at any of our three campuses. "A precious, precious lady," is how Arp ISD superintendent Shannon Arrington described her. We ask that you please pray for her family as they mourn the loss of a wonderful individual that touched many lives here in Arp, America, and beyond. Visitation takes place Friday, Dec. 9 at Hannigan Smith Funeral Home in Athens from Noon to 2:00 p.m. with her funeral service immediately following. May her soul rest in peace. Respectfully, Arp ISD.
