I went to high school with her for a year in Shelbyville - shared no classes and wasn't a friend by any stretch (she was a couple of years ahead of me) but she was a definite presence in the hallways! And unlike most seniors, she'd always say "Hi", even to snot-nosed sophomores who were borderline terified of her size.
