Like many people from Noblesville, I too was influenced by Mrs. Furr. I was a cadet teacher in her second grade class when I was a senior in high school. I can still remember moments in that classroom and what a great teacher she was. Thanks for the memories.

Mandy, Jan, and Jef, So sorry to hear of your loss. She was my second grade teacher at Conner School in 1973. I also would see her at the hospital when my duties as a fireman would bring me there. Even after all the children she helped to mold in all her years as a teacher, she continued to teach us through her desire to serve humanity, to give, volunteer, and never stop touching peoples lives. She is a true blessing. Greg Crider

Mandy, Jan and Jef--your lovely mother was a meaningful part of my childhood. She opened the whole world to me, and many other kids, by sharing her love of books, stories and imagination. That is a gift I still cherish every day. Hugs to you all. She was and always will be much loved and admired.

Mandy & Family,
Your mom always kept us in line with her wisdom and tone. She was awesome to let us use your house as part of the NHS campus for 4 yrs. She supplied us with many school lunches. We could sit and chat whenever and about whatever. Your mom will be missed. I hope all your good times can bring a smile to your face. You know she is standing tall again with her perfect posture.
