My thoughts and prayers to the Hosley family. Mrs. Hosley was a colleague during for a short time at Carver. I remember her as a stylish, organized and very helpful coworker. She will be missed. Lennetta Gray-Brewton

Ms. Hosely will be greatly missed she was the first teacher ever to treat me with respect and great care. She instilled many great teachings in me that I still use to this day since the late 90s.

Mrs. Hosley was one of the best teachers I could have possibly been blessed with having. I am thankful for her because being in the broadcast club that Mrs Hosley started led me to develop relationships with life-long friends. She will be missed more than words can ever explain.
