I was class of '61 at Beaver so I enjoyed Miss Titcomb (as she always was to me) and her company at many Beaver events. She always made you feel like her friend. Jean

Miss Titcomb was more than my teacher at Beaver. She was a great friend who taught me so much about leadership and generosity of spirit. And I loved her laugh!!

Camilla was a longtime chorister at Berkshire Choral Festival and sang the Bach Mass in B minor this summer with Madelyn. I am devastated to hear this news. She had the greatest smile and I will always remember it. Cynthia Pease

I had Miss Titcomb, as well, at BCDS, and she was a part of the excellent and solid education I received there. You will me missed.

I was one of the many fortunate students to be taught by Ms. Titcomb at BCDS. As someone who is 'mathematically challenged', Ms. Titcomb was able to make math palatable and her unwavering enthusiasm was contagious. She will always be fondly remembered.

Always remembered what she would reiterate every class to us : "You're not allowed to forget what you learned last year." --
