It is with broken hearts and immense sorrow that we mourn the passing of Ms. Kym Morquecho, a cherished member of a school family, a proud Rowe alum, and a passionate and devoted educator. Ms. Morquecho’s sudden departure has left a deep void in the hearts of her students, colleagues, and the entire community she so dearly loved and served.

Kym was more than a teacher—she was a mentor, a role model, and a guiding light for so many. With her unwavering compassion, gentle strength, and infectious positivity, she left an indelible mark on the lives of those around her. Every classroom she stepped into became a space of safety, growth, and encouragement. Her presence had the unique power to uplift a discouraged student, support a struggling peer, or ignite inspiration with just a few words of wisdom.

A graduate of Rowe, Ms. Morquecho took great pride in returning to the halls that helped shape her, driven by a mission to give back to the very community that raised her. Her connection to her students went beyond the curriculum—she celebrated their wins, supported their struggles, and believed in their potential even when they doubted themselves. Kym embodied everything it meant to be a Warrior: resilient, empathetic, and committed to leaving the world better than she found it.

Those closest to her describe Kym as a woman of quiet courage, powerful integrity, and unshakable love. Whether she was tutoring a student after hours, volunteering for school events, or offering a comforting ear to a friend, she did it all with humility and grace. Her legacy is not only measured by the lessons she taught but by the hearts she touched, the lives she shaped, and the community she helped build.

As we grieve the loss of someone so deeply treasured, we are also reminded of the strength found in unity and the power of remembrance. Ms. Morquecho’s legacy will live on—in every life she influenced, in every student she inspired, and in every act of kindness she modeled.

To honor her memory and help support her family during this heartbreaking time, a GoFundMe page has been established. We ask that, if you are able, you consider contributing. No gift is too small, and every donation will go toward easing the burdens faced by her loved ones and ensuring that her legacy of love and service continues.

Please continue to keep Ms. Morquecho’s family, friends, and students in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate the pain of this devastating loss. In her honor, let us carry forward the spirit of compassion, commitment, and courage that she so beautifully lived every single day.

Rest in peace, Ms. Kym Morquecho. Your light will never fade.
