Elizabeth Ann Kirby

When driving by Highgrove neighborhood, I always think of her fondly. I´ve wished I would have visited her more often after she retired, but always happy to see Dr. Kirby when we bumped into each other at Publix!

Visiting Italy and remembering Dr. Kirby. This morning is dedicated to her as I visit Uffizo Gallery.

Thank you for expanding my love of art and history. I will never forget you.

I think of Dr. Kirby often and always with good memories! When I started the Art Club at TCC, she was my student advisor. I was an older student and there was never enough time in class to talk about all the fascinating things in art history! I´ve always wanted to paint a picture of her, but could never obtain her photograph through TCC records! I still wish to paint her Regal Stature to express my deep admiration for her!

I took Dr. Kirby's art history class at TCC in the early 90s. I wasn't a particularly good student nor even particularly interested in art, but her enthusiasm for the subject and, maybe more importantly, her unique presence as a person was, in a word, appealing. It made a pretty difficult class an actual pleasure. I would reach out to her years later to say thanks.

You are missed and always remembered!

I just read your mother's obituary (I googled her after a photo of a Seurat reminded me of a paper I had written for her class). I went back to school in my thirties with a semester to go to get my degree in communications. I had always been interested in Art History even though it had nothing to do with my major so I took your mom's class. She was BRILLIANT. The best teacher I ever had. A few years after I took her class I talked about her being the best teacher I ever had on my...

I also was born I. Kent and knew your mum from the swimming club I was in So sorry for your loss With love Elaine Dockrell

A mirthful + mindful life, recalled. Feeling fortunate to have met Elizabeth & to have experienced her
kindness & wisdom.

I grew up across the street from the Barrows; Caroline and Joanna were dear childhood friends. I have a clear memory of Elizabeth in the kitchen of her Prince Street house, doling out cookies or some other such goodies to me and her girls. Elizabeth and my mom were good neighborhood friends. Please accept my deepest condolences on your mom's passing, Caroline and Joanna...she will be remembered by us all as the brilliant, creative and gracious woman that she was.
