The epitomy of a great role model and professional as Dean of Girls at TFN. Although I had only dealt with her once walking out of auditiorium my Junior year as was not really on my schedule due to an Admin error where they had me as Lunch/Lunch vs Lunch/Aud. Got an hr detention yet when I was doing my homework in there only spent 30 minutes. Thanks Mrs. V. May you RIP.

My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Vanderby's family. She was my Dean of Women in the mid 1970's. She was kind and caring and well suited to her title. I could be quite the handful back then, so I spent quite a bit of time in her office. She always took the time to listen. I believe she truly cared about each and every one of us. Years later, I looked back on the time I spent with Mrs. V and had nothing but good thoughts about her. I wish, as an adult, I would have known her. Rest in Peace Kitty... with love and admiration

Sincerest sympathies to the entire extended family and loads of friends. She gave me my first chance to help in any capacity in School Administration, and I treasure those days still.
