Mary Jo Nye was a retired teacher and had long taught at Calhoun Community High School, the Battle Creek Enquirer reported.

Even after her retirement, she attended graduation ceremonies at the alternative charter school, the Enquirer reported. To many students, she was like a mother.

On her Facebook page, Nye posted photos of traveling with her husband, her dogs, and quilting projects.
