Shoreham-Wading River school district lost a member of their district's family this week when Adrian Gilmore, a high school soccer coach passed away.
Gilmore was a teacher at Albert G. Prodell Middle School in Shoreham and led Shoreham-Wading River's soccer teams to county and state championships. She also was honored with Coach of the Year awards while leading her teams.
Tragedy struck this week when she died suddenly just two days after collapsing at the school. Shoreham-Wading River Superintendent of Schools Gerard Poole confirmed the teacher's death in a letter to the district. In the letter he said Gilmore was “an outstanding coach, mentor and source of inspiration to many generations of SWR colleagues, families and students."
The cause of her death has not been disclosed at this time. Adrian Gilmore and her family have set up a gofundme page. She is survived by her husband, Tim Gilmore, and three children.
The page reads “Adrian wasn’t just a teacher in the classroom or a coach on the field; she was a mentor, a listener, and a light in so many lives. At home, she was the heart of her family. Her absence is deeply felt by all who knew and loved her.” The page has raised nearly $150,000 so far.
