Not sure what to say?

She was the best bus driver for us..1980-1990. She once gave me sentences to write as a disclipine for behaviorI learned then the value of respect but she never held past transgressions against you and was always fair. She will be missed!

Larger than life! Cannot forget Mrs McSchooler cheering on our Earl Dugan Chevrolet team in Avon Little League Baseball! I hope Leroy and Daphne and Doug are doing well and comforted by how beloved Helen is!

Aunt Helen is missed so very much, she always made everyone smile or laugh, she was such a prankster, she taught us kids (Debbie's) the rubber band on the sprayer and several others, :) she always had some kind of duck, or animal at her house, I also remember being chased by her turkey one year while we were visiting!

You will be missed

I'm so sorry top hear about Helen, she was certainly one of a kind and will be missed so. It was a pleasure working with her. Prayers for her family.

I was probably one of her easier trainees because of previous school bus driving experience and it was during the summer months, worked with her for a few years and could tell that she thoroughly enjoyed her responsibilities as a driver and trainer. I really enjoyed working with her and our continued contact on Facebook after her retirement. My & are...
