My sincere condolences to Mary's family and friends. I am one of the many students she taught in Greene. I had her as my 9th grade Social Studies teacher back in the 80's and was lucky enough to reconnect with her through Facebook over the past few years. It was apparent that her passion for education and world issues had not wavered even 30+ years after I had her. As a teacher now, myself, I am always struck by how lucky I was to have so many great teachers in Greene. For a little town, we had quite an impressive group....and she was one of the best. In the later years when we were Facebook friends, I always enjoyed seeing her perspective on different things that would come up in discussions. I've missed seeing her around that community more recently, and had heard she wasn't doing well health wise. She will be greatly missed by all of those lucky enough to have been in her classroom. She was a special person for sure.
