MRS. DUNIGAN WAS AN INSPERRATION IN SO MANY WAYS. TEACHER, COACH AND BEST FRIEND. MANY NIGHTS WE WOULD GATHER AT HER HOME AND PLAY GAMES. TWISTER BROUGHT MANY LAUGHS TO ALL. SHE TREATED ME LIKE A MOTHER AND I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN HER. SHE WAS A VERY SPECIAL LADY AND I WILL ALWAYS KEEP THE MEMORIES OF HER KINDNESS AND CARING FOREVER. SHE IS A GREAT LOSS TOO ALL HER KNEW HER AND I WILL KEEP HER AND HER FAMILY IN MY PRAYERS.

I remember Mrs. Dunigan fondly as a tough gym teacher who was also quite caring of her students. She was quite a lady. I am sorry for your loss.

Sorry to here of your loss. I have many found memories of Mrs. Dunigan as teacher and coach. I remember her and Mr. Mulligan arguing over gym time for the basketball teams. Back in those days (60's)the boys always had the courts first. Bev was ahead of her time arguing with Miuligan to get his boys off the court. It was the year 1967,we won the Wachusett League Championship in girls BB.
In gym classes I'll always remember jumping rope to our favorite songs. Great music back then!!

I think of Mrs. Dunigan and smile, she was a tough gym teacher, she pushed you to do things you thought you could not do...I thank her for that. I later came to know her as a very caring, sweet person with a fabulous sense of humor, as I worked with her in the Lunenburg system for a short time. Still, she asked me to challenge myself as a professional...and I did.
Thank you Beverly,
Krissy Carbone (class of 1986)

To Beverly's family and friends: I remember Mrs. Dunigan very well. She was my gym teacher at Lunenburg High for 4 years. 76 -79 She was tough but also had a great sense of humour. May she rest in peace.
