Submitted by Denise Chastain:
Audra—the information below is about our beloved Route 3 bus driver for Austin Elementary School (the Greater Branches and Dunwoody West), Ms. Janell Felton, who passed away last Friday due to surgery complications. She also drove routes for Peachtree and Dunwoody High School so she touched lots of lives in the Dunwoody Community. She leaves behind two boys, Jordan Butler, a 7th grader at Peachtree and Jraymond Lackey, a 1st grader at Austin. I was hoping you could send out this information on the AHA connection so people can know the information on her services as well as ways they can help support her boys going forward.
