I had the pleasure of knowing Mickey through our lives at the Stuart M. Townsend Middle School for over twenty years. She was devoted to her library and supporting all of us who used it. Mickey shared her classroom space with me for several years. After that we had classrooms next to each other. We carpooled as well. I got to hear about her extended family and how much they meant to her. Mickey was always on the go outside of school - camp, family celebrations, Sweet Adelines, library committees, and many more that I cannot remember. I would often tease her about how many packed suitcases she had in her trunk. That always made her giggle.
After both of us retired, we would meet, sometimes for lunch, sometimes for outings. We bowled in leagues together. I will miss her support, friendship and book referrals. My thoughts and prayers are with Chuck and Jim and the rest of her family. Rest in Peace, Mickey, a life well-lived.
