Ellen F. Binney

Mrs. Binney was my 5th grade teacher at Greenwood Elementary school. That would have been '78 I believe - I have fond memories of her. Condolences from my sister Colby and myself.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Mrs. Binney as I called her was the most wonderful teacher that my son, Bryan, had. She wanted the best for all of her students to be able to progress forward, learn and remember what she taught them. She is still a "loving" memory within my son and he often talks about her when we bring back the "old school" memories. Rest in peace, Mrs. Binney. You were loved by all of your students. Prayers - - -

Children sometimes are lucky enough to have a teacher who profoundly impacts their life. Mrs. Binney was that teacher for me, and I've often thought of her over the years. In 1967-68, when my life was in turmoil, she showed compassion, grace, and kindness to a frightened 8 year old. She demonstrated that teaching goes far beyond the curriculum, and modeled skills that I brought to my own teaching career. She also planted the seeds of Red Sox fever, and I've been a fan ever since! I will...

Kathy, Anne and Michael, my condolences on the passing of your mother. May you take comfort in the memories of her now and forever.
