Cecile Ann Paynter Erickson

To The Paynter Ericson Family,
My very belated condolences.
I was a student of Miss Paynter's at Westlake Elementary School in Daly City (Room 11) from 1964-66. My first impression of her was her grace, dignity and impressionable beauty. But shortly on I realized that gaining her respect was paramount. At that point in my young life I had attended no less than five schools between Europe and the US. Until I became her student I am still unable to name one teacher who made as much an...

I was one of her pupils at Westlake Elementary School which I attended 1956-1962. I remember her name and know that she left an impression on me. Rest in Peace dear one.

Deepest condolences to Cecille's family. I worked for her at Quest Unlimited. It was a joy and pleasure to know Cecille.

Although I am now retired and living in the southern California desert, I still have many Daly City connections and the recent notification I received regarding Cecile Paynter Erickson's passing has left a truly profound effect on me.

I was in Miss Paynter's sixth grade class at Westlake School 1959-1960. This was when she and Miss Bohleen team-taught in the MU room.

I am 58 years old. Miss Paynter was my fifth grade teacher at Westlake elementary school. She was my favorite teacher. She was beautiful, kind, caring, and encouraging. I remember she was always very stylish. Most importantly she made each of us feel special and important. She was a role model for me, as for many other students.

Miss Paynter was my 6th grade teacher at Weatlake School back in the 60's. I will always remember her for her beautiful smile and elegant style. At 59 years of age I forget many of my teacher's names, but Miss Paynter will always be one of those few special teachers that I will never forget. May her memory be a blessing for all those who knew her.

In awe of you as a school kid. Honored to be your friend as an adult. One of the most positive and classy people I have ever known. You could light up any room. I am feeling so grateful and will miss you always.

My condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort sustain you during this difficult time. (Hosea 13:14)

One of the happiest, liveliest members of our Dominican Class of '51 is now in heaven! We will miss her spirit among us but I for one am happy that she no longer suffers sickness.
