Priscilla Pryor Garrett let me know this week that Tina Girouard passed away at her home in Louisiana in April, 2020. Tina may not have been a part of the Class of 1963 but was just a year younger and memories of Harlandale High School as well as Terrell Wells Jr. High are filled with Tina's presence.The following is a brief biography of Tina from her obituary online at McCann-Healey Funeral Home.
