Mary was my Saturday morning client at Citrus Heights Beauty College while I was there. She was kind and generous and I think of her often. I always looked forward to seeing her.

I work at Big Lots in Roseville and that is how I met Mary. She would come in and buy food for her students, she was always concerned about her students not starting the day off eating something for breakfast. Mary was a special caring and kind person. I always looked forward to seeing her at the store. To her family, I am sorry for your loss and Roseville High School has lost a legacy with this teacher. May she RIP

I HAVE KNOWN MARY YOSIHIDA EIB FOR ALL OF MY LIFE. TWO YEARS AGO WE MET AT THE NEWCASTLE CEMETERY. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. WE MET AGAIN THERE THIS YEAR AND TALKED ABOUT OUR LIFE IN THE 1040'S AND THEIR HAVING TO LEAVE NEWCASTLE AND GO TO CAMP DURING WORLD WAR II. AFTER THE WAR WAS OVER,THEY CAME BACK TO NEWCASTLE. MY PARENTS PROVIDED HER PARENTS AND BROTHER ROY A PLACE TO RE-OPEN THEIR GROCERY STORE ONCE AGAIN. WE HAD MADE A PACT TO SEE EACH OTHER ON THE FIRDAY OF THE WEEK THAT SHE PASSED. I AM SO SADDENED TO HAVE LOST HER AGAIN. SHE WAS A SPECIAL LADY.

I felt truly blessed to have known and worked with Miss Mary. She made sure that everyone who walked into her computer lab felt at home. She always had a kind word. Mary, now you will have the best view of every rainbow!

Mary was such a very dear friend and a member of our teacher girlfriend birthday dinner group. She personally helped me so much when I returned to teaching and found that I needed mega- computer skills. She was always so cheerful and caring. We all loved her so much and will miss her more than words can say!

Unfailingly kind and thoughtful, Mary taught us each day how to give the best of ourselves. She touched the lives of both students and staff with her gracious spirit. God bless and sweet rest, Mary.

Just read the paper and learned of our great loss. Mary was the backbone of kindness and caring at Roseville High, specifically for the EL students.She taught me that it, even when things are crazy and difficult, a kind word and caring thought should always be shared.
