West Teacher Dies Unexpectedly

I got word today that Jill Crine, a math teacher at Torrance's West High, passed away last Thursday at her home in San Pedro. She was 43. The coroner, whose office I contacted, so far is calling her death an accident, not from natural causes.

The school will host a memorial vigil for Crine, a native of San Pedro who graduated from San Pedro High and USC, on Wednesday night. Set to start at 6:45 p.m., the event will be held on the campus's "Quad 5" according to the West website, where more details are available.

I never had the opportunity to meet Crine in my years of school reporting here; if any of you knew her, feel free to email your memories my way: shelly.leachman@dailybreeze.com.
