Mrs. Crowley was my fourth grade teacher at Hillsboro Elementary. Some of my memories from that time, are as clear in my memory as if they were yesterday. Her amazing patience, kindness and love for all of us was so constant. I can still see the reading area she set up in the classroom with an easy chair, lamp and carpet.... Plants on the shelves with all the books. There was a wood carving in her classroom that said " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". It was a blessing to have her as a teacher, beyond teaching me beautiful handwriting and shepherding me through multiplication tables....she set up a place in my heart and never left.
She was memorable, beautiful, and a true gift.
