Dillard was the head coach of the girls basketball team at Felton Grove High School in Apex and leaves behind a “profound legacy of class, grace, wisdom and dedicated service,” according to a social media post from Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools<\/a>, where the 57-year-old woman previously worked as a basketball coach and teacher at Carrboro High School. <\/p>\n “She loved and appreciated her Jaguar players, coaches and colleagues, and never hesitated to have the hard conversations about equity and doing what was best for our students and community,” the social media post said.<\/p>\n A family member told Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools that her players “meant the world to her every year.” She is also being remembered for having “strong, lasting relationships” with students and staff in North Carolina. \u00a0<\/p>\n “As we learn more and process the tragic circumstances surrounding her passing, we will rely on each other for the needed support at this sad time,” the post added.\u00a0<\/p>\n It was not immediately clear what led investigators to Harper in Pennsylvania. Police in North Carolina continue to investigate the woman’s death.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n
