Even when she was dealt a bad deck of cards, my hero Kari Jolink made the best of it. She was diagnosed with stage four cancer in the spring of 2015 and passed away in February of 2016. Even though she faced the terror of death, Kari Jolink stayed strong and positive about the life she lived. Kari was a beloved teacher at Marshall Middle School for the past 10 years. Her kind nature was something students looked up to. She wanted the best for her students and helped them as much as she could. She wasn’t afraid to sit them down and have one on one sessions with her students. Kari loved to see the success of her students.
Kari Jolink wasn’t just there to sign her homeroom kid’s yearbooks. She wrote them all a personal encouraging letter
