  1. Frau Funder was always cheerful and full of energy. Every class she walked in either with a smile, singing a song, or playing funny videos she couldn’t wait to share, which made learning feel lighter and more enjoyable. What stood out most was how much she genuinely cared about her students’ understanding. She always took the time to explain things clearly and never made anyone feel bad for struggling. Even when I was struggling in class, she found ways to break the work down and help it finally make sense to me. And even though I was sometimes a pain in the butt and tested her patience, she still smiled and had a good mood. She was a truly wonderful teacher and will be deeply missed.

  2. As I remember Catherjne, my thoughts immediately go to her smile and cheerfulness as she would walk around the school. Her care of her staff and students and passion for the Languages was always evident. A beautiful service honoring Catherine which in my ways reflected her smile and enthusiasm for whatever she was doing .
    Thank you for the live streaming.
    My sincere condolences to you her family, as you life each day without her. I pray that you will be comforted by many happy memories.
    Sincerely

  5. What a heart-felt and fitting service for Catherine and those photos bought back so many memories of her earlier life in the 60s and 70s. As is often the case with funerals, you find out so much more about a person than you think you knew. She will be missed.
