“Coach Rachel Keltner Stone was a huge part of my life all throughout high school. I spent countless hours in her classroom stressing out and planning for dance team events. We spent even more hours actually at dance team practice, competitions and performances. I am eternally thankful for the time I had with Coach Stone. Prayers to her family. Prayers to all of her current and former students. I did not know a student who didn’t love her. A lot of hearts are hurting over the loss of such a great person. Rest in Peach Coach Stone, you are very loved,” a tribute post shared via Facebook read.
