"But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs." - George Eliot, Middlemarch

Irene, was a great neighbor and wonderful friend. She felt God had caused our paths to cross and we felt the same way. We will miss having her in our lives. the Carltons

Of all my teachers at every level, Mrs. Mayer stands alone. I will never forget her professionalism, kindness, and encouragement. My only regret is that we never met after my graduation. She would have been a truly valued friend.

How appropriate that she would have wanted tributes to be sent to the Open Door Animal Sancturary.
