hall, enjoying live, local country music where she fell in love with David Doig and was happily married for the last nine years. Passionate about education, she was a middle school teacher, an elementary school librarian (achieving the Librarian of the Year Award in 2013), a dyslexia interventionist and, finally, assistant principal at Wharton Dual Language Academy. She shared her joy for reading by hosting book club gatherings and themed Halloween parties where she and David dressed up as characters. A lover of all sports, she grew up attending Astros games with her grandfather, father and brother and passed along the tradition to her husband and daughters. As passionate as she was about the Astros, she was fanatical about Longhorn Football, teaching her daughters how to make the Hook 'em sign as babies.

I appreciated your humor and ability to ease stressful situations. Our occasional encounters when getting morning coffee were filled with words of encouragement which I greatly appreciated. This school year you became my appraiser and I got to see your fairness and professionalism when assessing my performance. My heart goes out to your family and I pray they find comfort and peace as they adjust to life without you.
Mrs. Doig, thank you for being you! With open arms you allowed me to learn so much in my first year at Wharton. Your smile always brightened up the day, no matter what was going on. You had the ability to ease things with such grace and respect. I am forever grateful that I was able to work with you, a person who cared for our students and teachers/staff. You will always be in our hearts. Prayers and love to your family. May you Rest In Peace. ❤️
