Colleagues, students honor beloved teacher
POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Aug 05, 2009
Forty-year-old Wendy Danielle Davis was more than just a math teacher at Mililani High School.
"Her connection to the students was really genuine," and she often spent two to three hours after school tutoring students, said 10th-grade Vice Principal Fred Murphy of Mililani High School. "Students looked to her for math guidance, but they saw her as a friend and mentor.
"Teaching is all about relationships and she got that," he said.
Davis died Friday from head injuries sustained in a July 14 accident when she was struck by a car while jogging in Mililani, the Medical Examiner's Office and police said.
The school held a moment of silence in memory of Davis on Monday and offered additional counselors for those who needed to talk, Principal John Brummel said.
Brummel described Davis as a dedicated teacher who had been with the school's math department for about 15 years.
Murphy said of himself and colleagues of Davis, "You can't help but become close, and we all feel the pain and loss."
Davis was critically injured when she was struck by a car at Meheula Parkway and Kuahelani Avenue. Police said Davis was in a crosswalk when she was hit. The driver of the car, a man in his 20s, did not see her, police said.
Davis, of Mililani, was taken in critical condition to the Queen's Medical Center following the 5:30 p.m. accident.
The driver was not arrested, but police have reclassified the case to a negligent homicide from a negligent injury. The case is pending further investigation.
