| Miss Shea was a remarkable lady who forever instilled in me a desire to learn and to always strive to do my best academically. Miss Shea taught her students using a keen intellect and a wry sense of humor. She set high standards, and if you received an "A" in her class you knew that you had truly earned it. I have carried the lessons learned in her class with me through college, law school, and throughout my life. To this day I can not pass a copy of "A Tale of Two Cities" in a bookstore or library without thinking of her. My deepest condolences to the family and many friends of Marie Shea. |

| I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Miss Shea. She was one of my favorite teachers in high school. Even though I don't get back to Iowa often, when Miss Shea saw my Mom she always asked about my sister and I. I will never forgot "you have the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle", "rise and shine", and "we haven't had a quiz lately." I was fortunate enough to be one of Miss Shea's lab assistants and I still enjoy looking up words in a dictionary and reading the classics. Miss Shea helped prepare me for college English classes and law school essay exams. I am sorry for her family's loss, but please know that she touched so many of us in Emmetsburg, Arizona, and throughout the world. I will miss her. |

| To the family of Miss Shea: As a former student of Miss Shea, it was truly an honor to have her as a teacher. I have often thought about how proud she had to have been to be able to have taught so many students, as I know how proud I am to have had her for a teacher. I am so very sorry to here of her death and to let all of her family know that you are in my prayers. |

| I was saddened to learn the news of Miss Shea's passing. The only thing I can add to these great tributes posted here is my fond memories of her allowing us to get extra credit in her English class for doing cross-word puzzles and other word problems. I will always remember her wry smile and I thank her for the way she enriched the vocabulary of countless students including me through fun and humor rather than with the crack of a yardstick across the knuckles. Thank you, Marie. :-( |

| Sorry for your loss. Miss Shea was the best teacher I ever had. She had a way of making you learn even if your heart was not in it. I wish that we had more teachers like her in the world. She will be missed. I am glad I had a chance to tell her what she meant to me last year at our class reunion. |

| Long after I graduated from high school, I was still asking Miss Shea to proofread things for me. She was gracious with her help and gentle with her corrections. She was ALWAYS right. If a person's measure of how well she lived her life is that she left the world a little better for having been here then Miss Shea achieved greatness. Thank you, Miss Shea. |

| This woman taught me so much I have never forgotten her. I moved alot as a child and attended many schools across the country, she was the one person/teacher that has always stayed in my heart even though she never knew it. I only wish my children would have experienced her classroom.

| Who would imagine such a tiny little demure woman as Marie Shea would have impacted so many lives in such significant ways, and around the globe! Miss Shea was my mother's cousin, and she did extensive research on our family history in Ireland. Last year I visited the home of relatives Ned & Marie Millea in Ireland, where Miss Shea stayed for some of her research. What fun it was to marvel together with them over what a remarkable woman we shared as a family member.
I too had the privilege of having Miss Shea as my English teacher, and when I later went on to become an English teacher, Miss Shea served as my role model, particularly in terms of holding my students to the highest of standards and expectations, which she always did. We may not have liked it at the time, but we all thanked her for it later as we realized what she had done for us by doing so.
What a fitting day to hold her "Graduation Ceremony"! I believe that St. Patrick himself has already greeted her with "well done, good and faithful servent....."
Miss Shea, we shall remember you forever. May you rest in the glory of God's kingdom. |

| What a marvelous, inspiring lady Miss Shea was! My memories of her will always be of receiving my first and last detention ever in Freshman English (I knew I had done wrong and vowed to never let her down again.), the times she came into the bakery after school and I would wait on her, and the fact that I looked up to her as I became a teacher -- to become a teacher that students admired and respected and knew what was expected. As the funeral bulletin says it best "...You're a student's greatest lifelong treasure--A teacher who is special through and through." |

| Miss Shea taught every one something. She taught me many things. She taught me grammar, writing, proper communications, discipline and how to plant a rose. She always had spectacular rose bushes. She taught me that it is normal to read the ‘girl’s parts’ of a story as we read aloud in class A Tale of Two Cities. She corrected my pronunciations of words if I happened to have the ‘em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-LAB-le’. I learned that I CAN have a glass of water while mowing her lawn, but to actually GET that glass of water I had to ask; ’MAY I have a glass of water?’ Miss Shea taught me a foundation of broad skills that allowed me and every other one of her students to succeed in living a better life. My condolences to her family and all that knew her and loved her. Her very sharp dry wit would have put THAT smile on her face that she reserved for the very best of things that happen in life; to be memorialized on St. Patrick’s Day.

| Miss Shea was such an amazing lady and will be missed by so many, more than we will ever know. As I sit and read what everyone has wrote, it brings a smile to my face as I remember all these things about her. Miss Shea, thank you for all that you did for all the young people you taught and for all that you did everywhere. God Bless you! you will forever be missed. |

| Marie and I met at her Arizona home. I had the pleasure of meeting and visiting with her over the last three years. I immediately fell in love with her as we shared our school day experieces. She loved photography and doing research on the WEB, someing we both enjoyed. I will always remember the times we spent together, especially this past year.
Will miss you
Your friend

| If you were fortunate to have had Miss Shea as your teacher then there can\'t be a conversation regarding high school memories that doesn\'t include her. If you didn\'t appreciate her while she was your teacher you certainly did after having some time to grow, at least I did. Because of Miss Shea I have a true appreciation for Dickens, greek mythology and even Shakespear, which I still don\'t understand most of the time. In my eyes she was a great lady, who carried herself with grace and was always fair as a teacher. She will be greatly missed and all my sympathy to her family. |

| My deepest sympathy to Miss Shea's family and friends. She touched so many lives in such a positive way. She was my teacher and she made a very positive impression on me. She treated me with respect and I treated her with respect. She was a mighty role model. I am blessed to have known her. She is at peace now. I celebrate her. My deepest sympathy.

| It's sad to learn of my esteemed colleague Marie's death. Worked with her at the Emmetsburg high school. We shared love of travel to Ireland. Marie's last Christmas letter mentioned her illness as if it were a slight inconvenience in her life which she led with much meaning. She would indeed smile at having her funeral celebration on St. Patrick's Day. Judy & Dave |

| I knew her as Patricia. When she came to Ireland, she was part of our family immediatedly.My beloved husband died. Some time afterwards, Patricia invited me to America. I was in to my 60's- had never left this island before- we drove across America, visiting many states, so many sights, and so many relatives whom I think of at night time- such a comfort to me then and now. All the time Patricia explaining things to me gently - like my husband- always the Teacher; such a marvelous journey!
When we meet, Patricia where will we go and what will you show me?
Nora. |

| When I think of high school, I remember fondly my times in English class. Miss Shea ignited in me a passion for writing, research, and crossword puzzles. She was demanding, yet caring, and one did not leave her classroom unchallenged. I think of her whenever I teach a writing lesson to my fifth graders. My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time. |

| To the family of Miss Shea:
Miss Shea was truly a legendary and inspirational teacher of writing, literature, grammar, responsibility, organization, and life. I can remember Freshman English as though I were sitting in the classroom yesterday. There were always so many things to accomplish each day that we often fell behind in going over the daily assignments. Miss Shea would always warn us to make sure we kept up with our daily homework because “sometimes we take things out of order.” The fear of a Zero and a Sundown often kept me up late writing out vocabulary definitions, memorizing Shakespeare quotes, reading short stories, and writing essays. Of course, there was also the dreaded “we haven’t had a quiz for a while!” I think what I admired most was the time Miss Shea would take to help students with whatever they were working on, even if the assignment wasn’t for her class. She helped me edit and organize one of my papers even after she had retired. Additionally, I loved the opportunity to travel to Stratford-Upon-Avon and other interesting places through her slide shows of her many trips around the world. In the last few years when I had the chance to visit with Miss Shea, she was always interested in how I was doing as a school administrator, giving her two cents’ worth about what kids today really need from educators. I treasure the many lessons I learned from Miss Shea—I think I learned them too well to forget them.

| Words cannot express my sorrow at the passing of my dear teacher and family member, Miss Shea. High school was not an easy time for me, but Marie, in her wisdom, knew that the knowledge she could offer would benefit me far more than friendship or "easing" my path. Throughout my career, the knowledge she shared with me served me so well. I am certain I will see her again in Heaven one day... in the meantime, I expect she will be enjoying the company of Dickens, Shakespeare, and the many literary greats she made so real for me. God Bless you, Miss Shea... and thank you for all you have done for so many. Love, Mary Kay

| I am so saddened by everyone's loss. i say everyone because she was known and touched by generations. i must say that my love and appreciation for great literature comes from Miss Shea and I remember so many things that she taught us that I thought was so silly when i was a kid. Daily at work I think about her saying "the em-phasis is onthe wrong sy-lya-lable. I only wish that your family knows how deeply she touched so many people. She will live in our hearts forever. |

| I was so sad to hear about Miss Shea's passing. She was one of my favorite teachers. I learned so much from her and developed a love of writing from her class. When talking with some other fellow students yesterday we talked about how she was such a little lady by nobody dared cross her. That is how respected she was. She will be missed! |

| Marie was Larry\\\'s english teacher when he was a freshman in high school & I got to know her when we moved next door to her 10 years ago. We had many good conversations over the years, especially regarding her many trips to Ireland. My ancestors were also from Ireland so we had a lot to talk about. She told me the story about her Lilac bush & that she took part of it from the Shea farm to plant it in her back yard. Our oldest daughter\\\'s favorite flower were lilac\\\'s & when she got married in May 1999, Marie said I could use her lilac\\\'s for her bridal bouquet. Was just beautiful. We will miss Marie very much. She was a great lady. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time. Deb & Larry Saxton |

| Marie came into our lives in the early 1970's when she was researching her family tree. Soon she became a regular visitor and like the swallows , we awaited her visit to Ireland each summer.We were never able to say for certain how closely we were related, so I invited her to be godmother to my daughter Sara.She was so reliable- never forgot her birthday, or the St. Patrick's Day cards written in green pen. She inspired me to research my own family tree, and I eventually came to love all those castles she enjoyed visiting.She would smile at the idea of being buried on St. Patrick's day. We will all miss you Patricia, we never called you Marie,
