Julie Foley

Mrs Foley ("Fol") is one of the most outstanding role models I had growing up and attending BKW (Class of 1983). Not only was she a great coach and supporter of girls athletics, but she was an advocate for girls being true leaders and striving for accomplishment in their futures. Having someone who believed in you that much gave "her girls" the confidence to succeed. A priceless lesson that stays with you forever and enables you to pass that message on to others. Love you Fol.

Christian,
Your mom sounded like a lovely woman. Your in our thoughts and prayers. You have our sympathy. With love from your family in CRS at AMCH.

We are sorry to hear of your loss and trust you are blessed with many fond memories to see you through this difficult time.

The Foley's were so much a part of my BKW experience They taught my favorite classes and extracurricular activities. Mrs. Foley was a wonderful educator and I admired her greatly. I count myself as one of the lucky ones that had the chance to be coached, taught and inspired by her. Condolences to the Foley family , Nickie Gladieux BKW'81

An inspiration in so many ways...a friend, adviser, and great sport. I'll never forget the volleyball play days at Cobleskill college in the late 60's. She brought her kids quite often! What a great coach, and most of all an endearing person. I will never forget Mrs. Foley. God bless her. Love, Joanne Hallenbeck Lounsbury

There are no words to describe how much you meant to the girls at BKW during our high school years. You made us feel like we were the best of the best and we worked hard because of that. I will always remember the away games the most where we would laugh, cry, sing and rejoice in another BKW outing. You welcomed us into your life, your home and your heart. Rest in Peace, Coach. You will always be in my heart. Paula Willsie (Class of '75)

Julie Foley was the quintessential educator and lady! Her passion for her students knew no limits and her belief in all that was good in people was boundless! I was privileged to know Julie has a colleague, mentor, and friend! She lead the way in acknowledging and elevating the status of Girl's Sports in the Capital Region.
My deepest sympathy to The Foley Family, and Rise"!

Kelle & family, I am so sorry for your huge loss. I will always remember your mom for her beautiful smile, laughter and sense of humor. She was so fun to be around. I'll always cherish the laughs we had together. She was a great lady who touched many lives. May you find some comfort in knowing her soul is at peace and lives on in you forever. With love always, Liz Santamorena

Mrs. Foley empowered me to be a strong woman through athletics. She reminded me to never quit. She taught me to play basketball even though I was not quite 5 feet tall at the time. Mrs. Foley would help me with my difficult times, with difficult teachers and she was more than a Gym Teacher, she was a coach of Life! I ran faster because of her belief in me as Captain of my Cross Country and Track Team at BKW High School - Class of 1991. My heart is with her family today! We loved her and...
