Shirley was generous: She often let me and Mike cruise town in her Pinto!
Shirley was easy going: She put up with a bunch of obnoxious guys in her basement at Mike's weekly Poker Nights!
Shirley was fun: at IUP Homecomings and her summer house parties!
Shirley was amazing!

Ms. Messaros was a strict, but fantastic geography teacher. She took so much crap from our 7th grade class but she was ALWAYS there and ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE. The way she made connections to pop culture to the lesson is something I use now with my students.
Thank you and may you rest well!
