I taught at Kountze High School with Mrs. Boyett. What a wonderful teacher she was! She leaves a legacy of intelligent humor to those of us who worked with her. What I'd give for one more conversation with her! Praying for her family and close friends during this time.

I will always have very fond memories of Mrs. Boyett from Kountze High School. She was such a sweet lady and a wonderful and caring teacher. Never a day went by that she didn't have a smile on her face. She will truly be missed.
