My brother and I both had Mrs. Quigley for kindergarten. In 1969 she was Miss O'Donovan to my brother. In 1971 it was my turn. What a lovingly marvelous and dedicated teacher she was. I never forgot her passion for educating the youngest minds and how she appreciated our individuality.
I last saw her at Harley Avenue in 1989 and We had a warm though brief reunion. Her goodness is forever etched in my heart. RIP Mrs. Quigley-Barba.

She was my church girl friend for many years when we were in Florida. Both of us were NY "snow birds". We met daily at St. Mark Catholic Church for daily mass and holy communion. I miss her very much. My hope now is that when I die I make it through the Pearly Gate and we reunite in glory in the Holy Trinity.

It was a privledge to have worked with you and to have known you all of these years. When I worked at HA in K you were right there to welcome me and help me out. You truly knew how to welcome all. We had so much fun with all of the holidays we celebrated with our classes. The best was the Kindergarten Play. What a grand event it turned out to be. I last saw you a few years ago at the Szokoli Event. To help out, I brought my daughter's Skeetball Game for the younger children to play during the event. As we chatted, you asked where the sign for it was, I mentioned there wasn't one. Well you left and in about five minutes you returned with not one but two freshly painted signs advertising this Skeetball Game. You brought masking tape and hung them right up. I have those pictures and will always smile at that memory of you. You reached so many and made your mark and made this world a better place. Rest in peace dear Barbara.
Planning ahead is prudent. Call us now.

I was a PTA Co-President at Harley Avenue School back in 2007 when Mrs. Quigley volunteered many years of service to the school. She was an amazing person. Always wore a smile. Her passion was the children and parents alike. She gave of herself filled with warm hearted care. Her legacy is that she left a memorable impression on every person that she knew. She truly cared about the children. I would say that she lived her life with unbiased integrity and her character would be unmatched. Truly a remarkable woman.
She was a giver. She made a tremendous difference in the world around her. I will remember her always as someone who made the school environment one that felt more like home. My deepest sympathy to all her family and friends during this time of deep sadness and loss of Mrs. Quigly. May she rest in peace.

I'll always remember Mrs Quigley as one of the most dedicated teachers at Harley Avenue. As a Kindergarten Para, I had the pleasure of working with her for so many years. Walking into my classroom and seeing her sitting in front of the children with her puppets always brought a smile to my face. I was delighted to have her sub for the many Kindergarten teachers I worked with. Always willing to lend a hand where ever needed. Coming from Douglaston in bad weather I would say Mrs. Quigley please be careful driving & she turn to me with that look & a smile & say Mrs. D I'll be fine.We talked so many times about her leaving for Florida & would say I don't want to be with those old people, but I'll go for my husband. She would send the classes postcards from Florida saying how she missed the children. I even remember her sending Valentine's Day cards to the classes with a note, please distribute to all. So loving,kind,dedicated. Mrs. Quigley you will be missed by all. Harley Avenue will not be the same without you,hanging all kinds of stuff on the walls in the hallways. Rest in peace. U will remain in my heart forever.

There was no finer start for a child in kindergarten than to meet Barbara Quigley. She was an electric personality full of kindness that spoke fluent "child". I always knew I was lucky to have her for my friend.
Barbara was an entirely unique individual,possessed of talents in all creative pursuits,with a gift for transferring information to the very young. She had a talent for identifying children who were apprehensive about the experience of school,and 100 ways to include those personalities in ways that would assure that they valued school for life.
Her personality was so full of light,that she brought out the best in everyone she met.I do not remember ever meeting anyone,before or since,who was able to spark people to give the best of themselves,myself included.
While this is an unparalleled loss,I can only imagine that she is standing there in Heaven with her wings,asking something like "Exactly how far are we allowed to go with these things?" Because however far that is,she will explore every corner of her new world. I will miss her every day.

Mrs. Quigley was my Kindergarten Teacher in 1969 at Cuba Hill. She was a customer in my Elwood and Floral park stores and with every Elwood Teacher I can't express how much of a difference she made in mine and my siblings lives. Many years later she taught my daughter Emma, but she knew my other daughters as well. She was always engaged in all the kids lives that she taught. I know the Elwood residents all feel the same in regard to truly how special she was and thank her family for sharing her with our small community. Peace.

Her spirited and sunny disposition made her a joy to know. I will never forget Barbara coming to Thanksgiving Mass dressed as Pocohontas, that year we were doing a joint service with the choir and the look on Mrs. D's face was priceless. Now she is singing with the angels, I will bet they love her as much as we do.

Mrs. Quigley came over and sat with him and told him he received the best gift of all. and explained why. He wasn't happy at first but I think realized what she was telling him afterwards.
