School Teacher Dies Suddenly From Flu Complications
SWAMPSCOTT (CBS) ? A popular teacher in Swampscott has died from the flu, according to her obituary.
Phyllis Gotlib, 68, had taught music to elementary school students in town since 1999.
She died Wednesday after she became ill over the weekend, the superintendent said in a letter to parents. Students were told about the death Thursday.
?Phyllis was both a kind and generous colleague, always greeting you with a smile and kind word. She was a bright light, with great sense of humor, a passion for music and her students. She will be sorely missed,? said Superintendent Pamela Angelakis, who wrote that Gotlib touched the lives of ?thousands of students.? Her obituary in ItemLive.com said Gotlib passed away suddenly ?due to complications from the flu.?
?Because we have learned Ms. Gotlib?s passing may have been due to complications from the flu, I sent cleaning crews into the Clarke and Hadley Schools early this morning to thoroughly clean all doorknobs, railings, her classrooms, and common areas including teacher prep spaces and hallways. This work was completed long before students arrived this morning,? Angelakis said in a pre-recorded phone call to parents Thursday.
