Eileen F. Starr

Mrs Starr was such an influence in my life. She was my 6th grade teacher back in 1977. I was fortunate enough to get back in contact with her mid 80s for a short time. I was truly blessed to have had her in my life.

Eileen was very influential in getting our daughter in the gifted program. We enjoyed many conversations together. Diane Weintraub

I just found out today that Eileen died. I knew the Starrs when Lee was my counselor over 50 years ago, and I only met Eileen once. They were people who cared about kids enormously. The encouragement I got from Lee,way back in the fifties, got me started on an academic career. This couple was the personification of "givers" rather than "takers."

After just learning about Eileen's passing, today, we are very saddened. Both Lee and Eileen gave so much of themselves to children in need and they shall both be remembered for their generousity and goodness.

Lee and Eileen were made for each other and I know Eileen was heartbroken when Lee passed. Wonderful people who now are together again after giving to those who were fortunate enough to have known them.

Dear Marianne,
Wanted to convey my sympathy on the loss of your mother. Please contact me if you need anything.

Dear Marianne and Lisa, Please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of your mom.

I am so sorry to learn of Mrs Starr's passing. She was my all time absolute favorite teacher in 1974 and we continued our friendship to this day. She taught me so much, but most importantly, she taught me how to value and love every day with the people who mean the most to you. Her devotion to her husband was beyond words and she would always remind you to tell your family that you loved them. She was an extraordinary woman and I will miss her sweet, caring nature. What a loss for her family...

Mrs. Starr had boundless energy and dedication and will be greatly missed.Thank you to the Starr family for your generous support of the students of our community. Your generous support of TAPP and other student programs will have a long legacy. Adelita Grijalva-Tucson, AZ
