Vigil honors beloved Central Bucks West teacher killed in crash

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) -- A Bucks County community gathered Friday night to remember the life and legacy of Katherine "Kitty" Semisch, a beloved former teacher who died earlier this week after she was hit by a bus.

Family, friends and former students gathered for a vigil in downtown Doylestown to honor Semisch and share memories of the impact she had on their lives.

"There's nobody that I've ever met like her, and I don't think there ever will be again," one speaker said. "It's a huge loss to our community and to all of us individually."

Semisch, 67, taught English at Central Bucks West for 26 years.

She died after she was hit by a bus outside a public library earlier this week.

Many of Semisch's former students attended Friday night's vigil to pay their respects.
