We are saddened that the world has lost a beautiful soul and a founding member of the Amesbury Educational Foundation, Inc.

Rest in peace Teresa Axten. Teresa was a true “townie” who grew up in Amesbury and graduated in the 1945 class of Amesbury High School. As a passionate and tireless advocate of education, she was awarded the “Friend of Education” at AEFI’s first Hall of Honor in 2003 and then became an early member of our Executive Board of Directors and remained in that role until her death. We are humbled and honored to be able to celebrate Terry’s life-long support for our schools through memorial donations to AEFI. Please CLICK on the photo to make a memorial donation to AEFI.
