Not sure what to say?

Family of Mary York, I am so sorry for her passing, May God give you peace and comfort at this time. She was a great Music teacher at Kearney State College(UNK). Learned a lot about the Art of Music.

PS want to add I was a student Gothenburg School in the 8th grade in 1961

Mary was my music teacher in 1961 when I was in the 8th grade. I still listen to music today. I was quite fond of music then. She excelled in teaching music.

So very sorry for your loss. What an incredible teacher Mrs. York was. Our choir groups at SEM always walked away with superior ratings. She led us with grace and a reassuring smile that instilled in us the ability to produce beautiful music. I´m thinking she sings now in the most glorious choir of all. God´s peace be with you all.

I loved music class at SEM. She taught us so many things about all kinds of music. It was an honor to be her student. Prayers for your family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I was one of her students at Sumner. She was a great teacher.

The first time I ever had Madelines was when Mary made them for the teachers at Eddyville when her and Tom returned from France.
