According to her family, Mrs. McGlothin was Morgan County’s first kindergarten teacher and taught school in Scott and Morgan counties for 37 years. In 1973, she was honored as Tennessee State Teacher of the Year. Since 1931, she had been an active member of Middle Creek Baptist Church and had served the church as a Sunday school teacher, children’s church director, Women’s Missionary Union director, Vacation Bible School director and pianist.

Mrs. McGlothin enjoyed traveling, bird-watching, photography, quilting and crocheting. She traveled to all 50 states and many foreign countries, including the Holy Land, Japan, Australia, China and England. Her family described her as a devoted wife, mother, teacher and caregiver whose philosophy of teaching was that “Jesus is the most perfect teacher of all” and who spent many hours cutting and stitching to make quilts and blankets for friends and family.
