Cornelia M. "Connie" Pickett

Mrs. Pickett was my english teacher for two years when I attended Meadowbrook. She taught me more in that time than most of my other teachers combined. I will never forget how she got me to do my best without being cruel and always used positive reinforcement and had a smile and a sense of humor. She was fair and kind and touched the lives of many.

I wish to pass on my belated condolences for "Miss Markey's" passing. I just came upon this notice. I was a 6th Grade student, starting in 1967 at the Phillips School in Wellesley. She was, and remains, my favorite teacher. She was fun, she pushed us,
she loved the Red Sox 1967, and she prepared us for the Junior High School. She was very special, and I think of her fondly till this day. Best Regards,

Phil Carens

To Connie Pickett's family: I was very saddened to hear about the passing of "Miss Markey". I call her "Miss Markey", because she was my 6th grade teacher in Wellesley more than 35 years ago, and that is of course how we referred to her. I vividly remember her warm and vibrant personality, her love for her students, her patience and good humor. I guess that is why even after so many years she remains my all time favorite teacher, and I know I speak for so many others as she was uniformly...

We are blessed to have known Connie. Her infectious laugh and warmth will stay with us forever. Connie taught Erika and Saul to love books and for this we are forever thankful. We will greatly miss her.

Goodbye and God Speed and may the angels guide you to eternal peace. I enjoyed our fun days at the Purple Poppy in Mashpee and your wonderful smile and positive towards life. Love,Marilyn Abbott

Our world is dimmed by Connie's loss, but heaven has a bright new star indeed! Who can forget Connie's famous laugh, her optimism, creativity, sense of humor and fun? Her wisdom and joie de vivre brightened my life during our time as Meadowbrook colleagues and in the years since, through visits, phone calls and correspondence. Connie is now with God, found enthusiastically reading books to the angels, bringing her bright spirit to all. Au revoir, my friend...

Connie -- What an inspiration she was to a new teacher at Meadowbrook 13 years ago! Her love for children and books, her infectious laugh, and her warm and generous spirit will always remain in my heart.
Blessings to Connie's family,

I am so saddened by the loss of our dear Connie. I will always remember her true gift for teaching, her love of books, and her fun-loving chuckle! What a dear friend that I feel blessed to have known. She will not be forgotten. My sincere condolences to her family.
