I remember Ms Gee from my elementary school days at B. F. Darrell. She was firm but gentle and encouraged us take our education seriously, love one another and be respectfull of one another. I moved to Hamilton Park in 1979 and to my suprise, she still remember me. She will be greatly missed, but she's in a better place. May the great comforter, comfort the family in this time of bereavement.

Cleoletta and family,
Loving your mother was easy for me because she was one of my most valued mentors. Mrs. Gee instilled in me the desire to pronunciate my words correctly and be proud of it, to act like a lady of distinction at all times and to love people. These are three specific attributes,among others, that Mrs. Sadye Gee taught me. I speak of her in some of my books and have told my children about this masterful queen of education. May her story linger forever in the annals of time. Her legacy includes the pivotal guidance of the minds and hearts of thousands. Her inviting smile is imprinted in my memory forever.
I'm praying for your family's comfort and peace as you proceed in this new season of life remembering your mom.

I will always remember Sadye Dupree Gee. She is a matriarch to be honored. In elementary school, she taught me to love appreciate my dark skin and the broad noses and thick lips of the Africans whose pictures were in our encyclopedia. This was in the 1960's. I love her. I pray the family will enjoy her memories in peace and prosperity.

The number of lives Mrs. Gee touched and guided as a teacher and community activist is immeasureable. I knew her personally as my "Aunt Mae Mae" from the old B.F. Darrell days where she and my mother worked together and remained friends for many years. She was definetly a mememebr of the village that helped to nurture me. A kind and loving soul that had a true passion for what she did and a love for children that was second to none.
In the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 13, Paul talks to the Romans about love. Aunt Mae Mae was the epitome of this scripture. Cleoletta and Clayton she she may be gone but she will never be forgotten. I know you both can stand proud for what she did in this life, and the influence she had on yours.
As one caregiver to another I know you did the best you could but God loved her best and He makes no mistakes. May you continue to be blessed, and may her legacy live through you and your family.
Love Always,

Mrs. Gee was instrumental in my life at B F Darrell 1960-1964
as my librarian and oratorical teacher. May God bless her
family. Mrs. Gee taught me how to speak and recite poetry
such as the Creation, the Negro Bellum Sermon and many others. I will always remember her in my heart, spirit and mind.

Hi Cleoletta,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's
leaving, I say leaving because she has gone to another place and she will never leave you. Belive me, the pain you feel now will get easier with time, because nine years ago I was feeling this same pain. Take care.
