Dr. Barbara H. Krysiak

I have had the strongest urge to get in touch with Barbara for about a year. I am so disappointed that I cannot tell her what a difference-maker she was for me at Butler Jr. High. At the end of the year she gave each one of us a small but personal gift. She also had a little speech to go along with it. No one ever took that kind of time. Mine (of course) was a mini screwdriver! Her passion for fairness and learning was second to none.

I remember her from 8th grade English at the Butler. We had to memorize 400 lines of poetry and I still remember some of it. I have never forgotten her and her love for poetry.

Dr. Krysiak was one of the best professors I have ever had. She made me a better teacher, a better principal and a better person. I am so honored to have called her my teacher and my mentor. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family.

May Almighty God and his son Jesus Christ bless and comfort your family in this time of sorrow. John 17:3

I have fond memories of Miss Krysiak at the Butler Jr. High in the early 60's. She always took an interest in her students and it was evident that she loved working in the field of education. It was so heartwarming to read that she continued on and made education of others a priority in her life.

My sincerest condolences to Barbara's family. She was a remarkable teacher and devoted to her students. I have such fond memories of her when she was at Butler Junior High - and the fun we had when she instituted cheerleading! Blessings to her and her loved ones.

It's been many years since our time at St. Stanislaus Polish School where Barbara and I were classmates and friends. Her obituary encompasses her gregarious personality, competitiveness and drive to succeed. My deepest condolences to Barbara's entire family in their loss. May Barbara rest in piece.

Some of us knew her affectionately as Ms. Kryz at Waltham High. She had an enormous influence on me as a 9th grader. I'm grateful to have been her student. Condolences to her loved ones.
