Helen Elizabeth McCorvey

Mrs. McCorvey was an amazing teacher. She inspired in me a love of literature. The writing exercises that she did with us prepared me for college. I remember her laugh, warm smile and her kindness. She will be missed.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Mrs. McCorvey was one of the best teachers I ever had - she opened my eyes to so many ideas. Our senior humanities class was like no other. Over the years I have often reflected upon that class, and what it meant to me. I am thankful to have been her student.

Helen was a dear friend as well as a mentor. I admired her as a colleague and learned so much from her during the years we taught together at Deerfield. My son was fortunate to have her as a teacher, and several years ago, he and I had a nice visit with her and Paul in Manchester. She was brilliant, kind, genuine, and Southern to her core. Love you, my friend.

I first met Helen McCorvey when she taught me 11th grade English/Literature at Deerfield school in Albany. I had never had a teacher like her before! I actually loved the class. I had never been a big fan of English before. She and I got along so well, and I just adored her! I had her for my senior year Humanities class, and our friendship grew. I knew that I would always stay in touch with her because I loved her, and her beautiful smile!! I really regret not seeing her in the last few...

I am sure I am not the only one to say Ms McCorvey was a beloved teacher! She inspired me to love reading literature and poetry and modeled how to be a fun and classy woman! I am sure she will be missed by many- Many hugs to Mike and his family !
