Clara Metz Obituary

Clara "Annie" Metz

"Annie" Metz was a respected kindergarten teacher in the Freehold Township district for 25 years. She was the wife of Emanuel "Manny" Metz, an innovative farmer on the Colts Neck Road.

Whenever Annie left the house, she would receive hugs and thanks from her past students. She also taught many children of her former students.

Annie is the mother of Dr. Linda Organ of Phoenix, Arizona; Sharon Talansky of Tinton Falls, New Jersey; Debra Satz of Agoura Hills, California; and Dr. Daniel Metz of Bradley Beach, New Jersey.

She was the beloved "Bubbe" to ten grandchildren and great-grandmother to 15 great-grandchildren.

To the Metz family, I actually student taught first grade when Ann was a kindergarten student at Burlington Road School, Freehold Township. She was truly loved by everyone and was the best kindergarten teacher. I know she is in heaven helping all the children! My thoughts and prayers are with you at such a sad time...

Mrs. Metz was my favorite teacher from my childhood. She was patient, loving and kind to everyone she encountered, suiting her perfectly for teaching. She made learning fun; everyone should be so blessed as to start off their educational career with a Mrs. Metz. Please know she had one of the most positive influences on my life and fostered my love of reading. I will be forever grateful for my experiences in Mrs. Metz kindergarten. Blessed be.

Annie was my client for many years, I loved visiting her at Seabrook to pick-up or deliver her taxes as she would tell me stories about her Manny being a farmer and she being a teacher. She was a wonderful, kind woman, full of energy and love for her family. May she rest in the sweetest of peace and I hope she is dancing the nights away with her beloved husband. My sympathies go out to all of her family.

I and me sister were lucky enough to start our school years with Mrs. Metz. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to education. Patience, love, and kindness in abundance. My favorite teacher. R.I.P. Mrs. Metz.
