I was in her second grade class at Henry J Allen. I remember her well, and how much I enjoyed her as a teacher, and being in her class. Sorry for your loss…)-:

I remember Mrs. Gombkoto well! I was one of her 3rd graders at Sowers elementary. She was a wonderful teacher and I learned a lot from her. RIP-you are an angel!
It was a pleasure working with Melba and her family is in my prayers.
In loving memory of a wonderful Grandmother. We love you and will always cherish the time we shared, and hold you on our hearts.
Ms. Gombkoto was my second grade teacher at Henry J. Allen many years ago. She taught me to read and was an amazing teacher! I will always remember her. I was so surprised to read she lived to be 100. My deepest sympathies to you all. She was a special lady!
Mrs. Gombkoto was my second-grade teacher at Sowers Elementary School. I won the spelling bee in her classroom. She was a top-notch teacher, and I have fond memories of her. Im praying for peace and comfort for her family.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
