I remember Mrs. DeGilio from Krieger School. She was always full of joy and cared so much about the kids. She was the best substitute teacher ever. I have fond memories of her from 35+ years ago, and it brings a smile to my face to think of them. Rest In Peace Mrs. DeGilio.

Barbara was an outstanding educator. She did a great job substitute teaching and later as a volunteer in the Poughkeepsie school district. I will always remember her caring and wonderful teaching with children. As Principal of Krieger and Smith Schools I knew I could count on Barbara. She will always have a place in my heart.
