I had Mrs. Feeley as my fourth grade teacher at Windsor Elementary. Her joy for teaching and love for her students was an inspiration for me to also become a teacher. I have been teaching for 29 years, and I have Mrs. Feeley to thank for being a positve role model and outstanding teacher to me, and the countless other students whose lives she touched! I am praying for you family.

My 6th grade teacher! She was awesome! And she dressed so hip I thought. Sorry to hear of her passing, God bless her and all great teachers!

Mrs. Feely was my 6th grade teacher. She was such a pro! I was surprised to learn that she hadn't been in the school system that long, as she was definitely a natural. I was lucky to have her as my teacher.
