This teacher’s funeral had 130 backpacks where the flowers should have been.

Nightfam, Tammy Waddell spent thirty years teaching elementary school in Georgia. When she was dying from cancer at age fifty eight, she made one final request. She asked everyone attending her funeral to bring a backpack filled with school supplies for students in need instead of flowers.

Her obituary asked people to donate through Project Connect, a local program that supports underserved students. On the day of her funeral in June 2018, the church pews were lined with around one hundred thirty backpacks. Each one was packed with enough supplies to help a child through a good part of the school year.

More than one hundred teachers who had worked with her over the years served as honorary pallbearers. They carried the backpacks out of the church and back to their schools so they could go directly to the children who needed them most.

Her family said this final wish made perfect sense. She lived her life focused on loving others, especially her students, and never cared about attention. Even in her final moments, she chose to help.

What a powerful legacy to leave behind.
