Gertrude Minnetta Minson

Always such an amazing lady! One of my favorite teachers, still talk about what an impact she made on my life in 4th grade!

Miss Minson was the best teacher I had at Fair Oaks and I will always remember her.
I remember my father (Dr. Charles Murphy) would say that "Miss Minson knew her Stuff!"
I remember that Miss Minson's favorite color was blue and she loved looking at the blue sky...RIP Miss Minson.

When anyone over the years, asked who my most memorable teacher was, I had to say.. of course it was Miss Minson, my 4th grade teacher at Fair Oaks. She cared about the whole student. One fond memory I have is when she sat all the lefties(I was one)together in a row and gave us special direction learning to write "underhanded" like a "righties"-just one of a multitude of things I remember about Miss Minson. She set boundaries for our actions, expected us to do our best in our work and to be...

She was a remarkable lady and teacher. The last time I saw here was when I was I between college years and I swear, she never changed.

I recall her interest in the kids and never dying attitude to help them... Even when some of us were troubled.

Montville lost a great teacher today.

I never knew why I had such a love for pink lady slippers until I read this Guest Book, though I always knew Miss Minson was a force in my life. She introduced me to books, and 10 years later I visited her in the same classroom and she remembered my favorite book, recognized me as I walked thru the door. I've often thought of her with affection and respect. May she rest in the peace of our Lord.

RIP Miss Minson... She was one of my all-time favorite teachers she was patient and kind and we learned so much about everything! She will be greatly missed!

I worked with Miss Minson at Fair Oaks, and some of my children had her as a teacher. Very kind and always held a wealth of knowledge about Montville. She was a wonderful example of a great teacher. Sincere condolences to her family.

My memory of Miss Minson was of a kind, patient teacher. A true honor to have had her as an educator.

Thought of her just the other day, when going through treasures of the past. She was a wonderful teacher. She will be missed. Kathleen Sinclair Glover, Kingsport, TN
