A wonderful person to have known. She was a teacher I had many years ago and was so easy to talk to. Years later she was my neighbor. Such an easy going personality. I will miss her.

Dear Cameron Family: It was an honor to teach in the C.F. Business Dept. with your Mother Mary. She always got the most out of her students, and did it in a way that they would enjoy. She was a special and caring person. My deepest condolences.

To the Cameron Family:

I was sorry to read that Mrs. Cameron past on. She was a very funny teacher and very well-liked among all students. I can remember how she liked her bingo. I worked at Notre Dame Bingo every Thursday and she'd always do a 'check-in' with the 'bingo girls'. You have my deepest sympathies.

Being a faculty member at Central Falls High School was always something really special, and Mary was one of those teachers who made it the kind of place you wanted to work. Her sense of humor, comraderie and dedication were always evident. She brought a no nonsense approach to education. Her stern yet motherly touch made her an excellent educator, and her students took to her quickly. I can still remember Mary walking the halls, magic marker in hand, correcting the spelling and grammar errors on the numerous posters and bulletins. Mary had her standards. She will be deeply missed.

To the family of Mary Cameron,
My deepest condolences and sympathy. I visited with Mary many times, sometimes twice a month when I was her Avon representative and visited with her. She was always so dear and caring, wanting to get me extra orders from her family and friends. She will be missed.

Margaret, Liza, and John: I will always remember your mom. She was a great teacher, and friend. I hadn't spoken to her in a couple of years, but when I worked as the benefits person here in the CF School District, that was when I would keep in contact with her. I will miss her little notes she would send me to thank me for the help I gave her in sorting out her questions whether it be for her life or medical insurance . May she rest in peace. God Bless!

John, Liza and Mag,
My thoughts are with each one of you. There are no words to describe how blessed I feel to have had your Mom in my life and to have been part of your family. She was the most caring, wonderful person I've ever known. I have many wonderful memories of a woman who I considered my Mom also. She also was the best "Nana" my children could've ever asked for. You will be missed.

To the Cameron children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren (if there are any): Mom was the most influential person I have ever met in my life. If it wasn't for her and the way she raised her girls, I would not be here today. I will miss her tremendously. She is my adopted mother after all (not officially). God bless you all and look on the bright side, she is finally with her husband after being separted for 25 years and with her son. Love you all and we will miss her very much.

I have three wonderful kids with the girl I took to the prom, never been to jail, my oldest son is a Vt State Trooper and life is good, no small thanks to your advise. You will be missed. My prayers to you and your family. Love ya. Russ, Class of 1974

I am sorry for your loss. Mrs. Cameron was a great, funny teacher. I remember we once had a class conversation about which way we face the toilet paper when we put it on the holder! Please accept my sympathies. Joann Landry, Class of '88

Margaret:

I am so sorry for your loss. I have not seen or spoke to your mom in years, but I remember her when I was in high school. She was a wonderful teacher. She could be fair and stern as the same time. Being in her class was a wonderful experience. She will be missed!
