Cathy J. Clary Leaf

Mrs. Leaf,

I never had the pleasure of really getting to know you as I am new to this area from Michigan and new to the district. I do fondly remember your warm smile as we passed in the hallways every day and said hello. Reading all the many wonderfull words that others have written about you I am saddened to not have had the remarkable pleasure of getting to know you.

My heart goes out to the family in this most difficult time. Her rewards must be great in Heaven. She is now...

Cathy will be missed. She shared her gifts with my children and they adored her. Love & prayer to the family

mrs leaf was a great teacher and she cared about her students and she will be missed

Cathy Leaf was more than my art teacher. She was my friend and confidant.She always encouraged me when I was down. She helped me make all of my work as "fabulous" as it could be. I miss her more than anyone who has ever passed away in my lifetime. South Effingham High School will never be the same. But her spirit still lives on in the hearts and in the minds of all those she touched. She was a mother,wife,daughter,teacher,friend,world traveler, and so much more. She will be greatly missed and...

Mrs. Leaf was by far one of my favorite teachers in middle school. I remember receiving postcards from her many adventures throughout high school. Mrs. Leaf inspired me and helped to bring out my true passion for writing and design. She will be missed dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Cathy Jane, my Sistah...
I am honored to have had you as my dearest friend for so long, the best person I have ever known. During our 24 year sisterhood, I have cherished each moment and known that we were having once in a lifetime experiences as they were happening, soaking up every delicious ounce of "fabulousness"! We were very good at living in each and every moment, weren't we? Our trip to the Mediterranean, driving around in your convertible VW Bug at Auburn, hanging out, being...

Where to start?
Mrs.Leaf was an amazing amazing amazing person. There is no doubt in my mind that she has changed the lives of SO MANY students. There wasn't a day that went by during middle and high school that I didn't stop by to say hello to her, even after I was out of her classes. She was uplifting and beautiful with so much excitement to her, she was one of the best teachers I've ever had, always pushing me to better even when I thought I was at my best.
I loved her so much and...

I was blessed to have Mrs. Leaf for three years in middle school and also in 8th grade for yearbook. I send my condolences to her family, for she will be greatly missed. She was a great woman who impacted many lives, including mine. God bless!

Mrs. Leaf was more than just an art teacher. She always helped her students strive to meet their goals and to go above and beyond. I appreciate everything she ever did for me, and how nice she was to me. Mrs. Leaf will be missed and I hope she knows that we all appreciate her outstanding strives to help everyone exceed above and beyond their weaknesses and form greatness and strengths.
