Monie's journey through life was one marked by an infectious enthusiasm that uplifted everyone around her. Monie's early years in Dover laid the foundation for a lifetime of curiosity and learning, culminating in her graduation from Christiana High School. Her education was not merely academic; it was the education of the heart that truly defined her.
