Marie C. Sherman

Marie invited me to become a Polymer Ambassador and opened up a whole new world for me. She was not just a lecturer but a outstanding demonstrator who believed that the way to a student's heart was to actually allow student to get his hands wet and let him run with the ball.

Mrs. Sherman is one of the reasons I became a teacher. I will always remember my time with her in science independent study. She will live on in all the lives she touched, including mine. Thank you Mrs. Sherman.

Marie was an active in bringing chemistry programs to area classrooms on behalf of the American Chemical Society. Because of this, an obit is being prepared for publication in Chemical and Engineering News, the weekly magazine of the 160,000 member scientific society.

Mrs. Sherman taught my daughter at Ursuline. She was the best.. she will be missed...

Even though it has been over 40 years, I will always remember Mrs. Sherman as being such a kind person and teacher. I will always remember that I was in her class when they came and got me and told me my my mother had died and Mrs. Sherman was so sweet.

To the family and friends of Marie Sherman, please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. I knew Marie through my late mother, Pat Essen, who was one of the other Monsanto girls (Mary Luke, Peggy Kramer, Grace Weiss, and Dee Dee James) with whom Marie maintained a friendship lasting over 60 years. Here is the story of how Marie influenced my life and, through my renewable energy educational activities, thousands of other lives.

To Mike/Robert and the rest of the family - Best wishes as you continue to celebrate Marie's life. I'll bet you have tons of stories - she sounds like a treasure.

Marie mentored me as well as most of the chemistry and research teachers in this area. There will be a hole in science education that will take many people to fill because no one person will be able to do all that Marie accomplished. She will be missed because she was a gracious and nice person as well as a great teacher. Joan Twillman

I always remember when I met grandma Marie, during thankgivings of 1983 as an exchange student from Chile, with a wide smile, very nice and patient. She treated me so well during my stay in her house by then and her present "a floating penny". I'm sure she will be missed by her family and friends. Good people are always remembered.
My deepest condolences and love to her entire family.
