GODFREY – Alton High School business instructor Martha Price-Darr was found deceased in the 4900 block of Hill in Godfrey on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at the home of a family member who had reported her missing earlier that day.
Captain Mike Dixon of the Madison County Sheriff's Office said nothing criminal seemed to have occurred in the instance of the 48-year-old woman's death during the initial investigation. Automated calls went to students within the school district offering grief counseling in the near future following her unexpected passing. Visitation will take place from 3-7 p.m on Friday, Feb. 8, at St. Mary's Church in Edwardsville. That visitation will be immediately followed by a memorial mass.
