Mrs. Dooley was my teacher at Auburn High. She was very caring and kind. She was so easy to talk to. She always had time to listen to her students (me). She was a special and one of a kind teacher.

Ann and I were friends for 25 years and knew each other before that. Auburn High School was lucky to have Ann on their staff. She was a dedicated, loving and very thoughtful teacher. Had I a child that needed her expertise and services I'd have sought her out and done what was necessary to get my son or daughter in her class.

She was such a kind and caring teacher. I remember her fondly as my 6th grade teacher at Conklin. She made education fun and was a prime example of what a true teacher committed to her students was all about. May she rest in peace. I hope the wonderful memories that you all shared bring you some comfort during this time.
