Glendale Elementary is sad to announce the passing of our beloved former teacher and principal, Mrs. Phyllis Ortego, on Saturday, March 29, 2025. In 1986, she began as a teacher at Glendale. In 2000, she became principal and retired in 2009. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, Apr 19, 2025 from 9 A. M. to 12 P.M at Quirk and Son funeral home in Eunice, La. Although Mrs. Ortego, as she was known to her staff and students, never had children of her own, she dedicated her career to nurturing and inspiring children, educators and the entire school community. Throughout her tenure, Mrs. Ortego was not just a Principal but a true leader and mentor to many. She had an unwavering commitment to students' success and well-being, always encouraging them to strive for greatness and to pursue their dreams. She loved her babies as she would call them. Her legacy will continue to inspire generations of students and staff alike. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband, Hilliard Ortego and her loved ones during this difficult loss. She was one of a kind. To honor her memory, let us carry forward the values and lessons Mrs. Ortego instilled in us, share our memories of her in the comments for us to enjoy, and remember the remarkable person that she was. Rest in peace Mrs. Phyllis Ortego. You will be deeply missed.
