Mrs. Chick was my favorite teacher - seriously. I had her for 5th and 6th grade at Pueblo Elementary School in Scottsdale. Many years ago, I was challenged by someone to write a note of gratitude to my favorite teacher. I was living in Utah at the time, but looked up Mrs. Chick and wrote her a letter expressing my appreciation for her love, kindness, and patience as my teacher. She responded to the letter and that began a yearly tradition of us exchanging Christmas cards. I always loved hearing from her each December and still recognized her hand-writing from when she was my teacher so many years ago. She was a wonderful woman who left a tremendous legacy and had a positive impact on my life. May God bless you with fond memories of her and comfort knowing she is with our Heavenly Father and Savior again. - Deborah Benson Larsen

Aimee was my cooperating teacher. I loved this lady. Because of her, I learned how to be a teacher. She and Betty Cauthen gave me a baby shower for my first baby, after I began teaching with them for five years. Over the years we lost contact. I did get to be reacquainted after meeting her at a Dolan Ellis concert. I just now found this obit after wondering how she was doing. Love to her three boys and their families. I am sure she is pleased to be reunited with her Henry. A truly great woman.

I remember her well and fondly -- she was my history teacher at Pueblo, and as I recall, she was awfully good at it, and a kind and thoughtful person as well. My sincerest condolences on your loss.

Mrs. Chick was one of my teachers at Pueblo Elementary. She was fantastic, and much beloved by many, many of her students. My deepest condolences to her family, and may they know that she touched a great many lives and made us all better people. I posted a notice of her passing on the "I was a Pueblo Dustdevil" Facebook page and the memories and condolences have been pouring in....rest in peace, Mrs. Chick. We will honor all you taught us.
