Mrs Gaffney tutored me the summer between 6th grade and 8th. I skipped 7 grade, so she got me on par with soon to be glassmates. She had a big heart and introduced me to her son . Him and I don't talk, but I have only the best in my heart for Nick and will forever be grateful to that family for everything they helped me with. My condolences Nick.

A wonderful teacher and colleague at OLOH. Multi talented lady who cared for her students and generously shared her talents. My sons were blessed to have her in Jr. High. May she rest in peace.

Mrs. Gaffney was one of my favorite teachers at Our Lady of Hope. She was so sweet and kind even on our worst days. She will be missed . Kim Moore

"Mom Gaffney" will forever hold a special place in my heart. She always made me feel welcomed & at home when visiting and her thoughtfulness over the years was outstanding. Her loss will be deeply felt. God bless you all
