Dr. Dyer was one of my professors in the College of Education at Drake University. I remember her as a intelligent and caring teacher who showed real interest in her students. She gave me her pin - from 1956, I believe - when I was inducted into an education honor society at Drake. I still have it. I would be happy to return it to the family.

It has now been 5 years since Dr. Prudence passed away, and I miss the visits we once had in Lenox, Massachusetts prior to her passing. Dr. Prudence was a mentor to me in my graduate studies in Curriculum and Instruction at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa prior to the onset of my teaching career in West Des Moines Community Schools. I can honestly say that her involvement in my goals absolutely changed my life.

It has now been 4 years since Dr. Prudence passed away. I miss our visits in Lenox, MA, and I miss her friendship. I will always remember her for her kind demeanor and willingness to help me in my academic life. She was a beacon of light in my life and gave me confidence to do my very best. Blessings, Dr. Prudence

It has now been nearly three (3) years since Dr. Prudence's passing. My wife's family lives on the east coast, and every time (usually each year) we go east, we think of the visits we had with Dr. Prudence in Lenox, MA. We really miss those days. Dr. Prudence will always be in my heart and mind, as she was someone who truly cared about me, both as a graduate student at Drake University, but also as a friend, upon her retirement. We appreciate so much the efforts of her three sons,...

It has been two years since Dr. Prudence passed away. As a person who meant virtually everything to me personally and professionally, I will never forget her. Every time I travel to the east coast from Iowa, I fondly recall the visits I shared with her in Lenox, MA. She continues to live in my heart, as I will always remember her and what she meant to me.

Dr. Prudence Dyer was truly a "key influential" figure in my life and helped me to become the person I am today. She was indeed an inspiration to me as a colleague, friend and confidant. From the time I first met her as a graduate student at Drake University in Des Moines, IA in 1971, until her recent death, we had a very close relationship which involved working for and with her in her studies and achievements in the area of Expressed Values. She was instrumental in...

I have wonderful memories of Mrs. Dyer who impacted my life in many of ways at Garfield High
School, academically and personally.On the lighter side, because of her influence, I have written with peacock blue pens and ink ever since, and I am happy to have that in common all of these years...and on going.

My sympathy to the family.

My memories of Mrs. Dyer as a teacher and mother of my good friend, Dave, are many and fond. Our sincere condolences to all the Dyer sons and their families.
