Julie O''Leary

It was a blessing to have been brought into this world by such a wonderful person. I will truly miss my mother. I know that my family will do everything in our power to keep her memory alive. We love you and will miss you! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and love with me. Love ya Ma!

I was privileged to have Mrs. O'Leary as my 4th grade teacher and will never forget her. By far one of my all time favorite teachers as she had this special light that shined and was so well respected. I will always remember the Oregon trail game and how she made it so fun and interactive. She had this way of making everything Such a blast while demanding the respect of her students and that's what made her such an amazing person and teacher. I know she has left her mark on everyone she has...

My condolences to Julie's family-I hope you can feel how deeply she touched so many as you read through these messages.
I was privileged to work with Julie for several years at Cynthia Mann. We shared students who struggled and she was always their advocate and mentor. The students loved and respected her even when she demanded that they demonstrate their best selves. I learned much from Julie about not only teaching but about life-for those were inseparable. Julie always was just who...

I student taught under Julie, and she taught me how to laugh each day and to embrace life. She taught me so much about being an educator and to never take anything too seriously, and to just have fun. I am blessed to have known her, and I know she touched so many lives both young and old. Truly a remarkable person.

We feel lucky to have been able to meet Julie at Pat and Kelsey's wedding - what a fantastic woman. The look on her face when the bagpipes began playing was priceless, she just loved it! Sending our love and condolences your way, O'Leary family.

Your mama opened her home and her heart to any one. Always ready with a hug, always laughing. I loved the many St. Patty's day feast of Corn beef, cabbages and Guinness! It didn't matter if I hadn't seen her in months, it was always "Willey, how in the hell are yah". I miss her, my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Oh,Julie was a mentor to teachers, a gift to students, and one heck of a good friend. She was so strong, smart, and fun. The world is so much better because she was here. She will be missed. I will always remember the pure joy in her voice as she spoke of her husband and children. Peace and love to her family.

We are saddened to hear of the loss of this incredible woman. My favorite memory of Julie happened at Sunset Park in Boise. I was slowly trudging along the path, feeling very sorry for myself. It was July, incredibly hot, I was pregnant and past my due date, and I was having a colossal pity party. Walking toward me was Julie. We greeted each other and I told her my sob story. She smiled her wonderful smile and offered condolences. Julie was pregnant as well, and it turned out she was even...

I saw an old Rambler station wagon today and I thought of Ms. Horn. I seem to recall that she drove one and I rode in it once-upon-a-time. Other memories I have are of her teaching me about the number 7 and how important it was to respect that "stop" sign on the restroom door in the kindergarten classroom at Owyhee Elementary school. I've never forgotten you Ms. Horn, and I never will.
