I will never forget Mrs. Scott. She was a genuine person who had a great impact on my life. A great teacher and friend. High school was so much fun with you. You will be truly missed.

I am going to miss Mrs. Scott so much, even though it has been a few years since I have seen her. She was such a special teacher and made me realize that I was something special also. Even after I graduated from McAuley, I still came by to see her when I was in Joplin and she was always happy to see me and hear what I had been doing. She was a huge asset to the school and it will be hard to fill her shoes. Thanks, Mrs. Scott, for believing in me.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I am so glad that I dropped by McAuley not long ago and made it a point to go upstairs to see Sandy. We had a good visit and shared some memories of when I had taught there. She is loved and shall always remain in my heart as a dedicated teacher and my very dear friend.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My two sons attended McAuley. Mrs. Scott was a no nonsense instructer that they grew to love.
She will be missed. She most definately touched my life and the lives of our family.
She gave us a plate for cookies for Santa when we found out we were having our baby girl. I told her then that she would be a part of our family for many years to come. That is for sure!
God's blessings and comfort to your whole family

Sandy will be missed. She worked very hard at McAuley to keep things running smoothly. Many students came back each year and specifically asked to see her. She loved hearing of their lives after high school and of their accomplishments. She was extremely generous and has left her mark on McAuley and will not be forgotten.
