According to her obituary, Kinzer “had a lasting impact on countless students, known as their “favorite teacher” to many.”

Among her survivors are three daughters, ten grandchildren, and 21-great-grandchildren.

A memorial service is planned Saturday at the Becker-Dyer-Stanton Funeral Home, where family and friends are invited to pay their respects and celebrate Kinzer's life.
