I just discovered my friend VaDeen past away over two years ago. VaDeen truly propelled me to college for a a kind of life I could never have imagined . She taught me to enjoy learning. She taught me the love of books, birds, plants, trees and so much more.
I treasure the last visit my wife and I had with her in 2016.
She really was a teacher!

Just learned today of the passing of my dear friend Mrs. Titus. She truly was a wonderful librarian and even more important just a beautiful person and humanitarian. I will always have your kind smile to remember.

My thoughts are with all of you in the loss of your mother. She was a great lady whom I liked and respected. Whenever I saw her, she was always warm and interesting to talk to.
Laura and Linda were students in my English classes, and I remember them fondly.

Miss Titus was my libarian when I was in highschool. Year 1966-1968. She taught me alot and to love books. I was fortunate to have see her in the past couple of years. She was a blessing to us all. To the family she will be missed
Much love to her family. I am a 1965 Reeths Puffer graduate, and always appreciated her concern and support and her love for literature. I went on to receive a graduate and post graduate degree because of the influence of good teachers like "Mrs. Titus" and other caring RP teachers like her. Rev. Brian Hansen
I first met Vadeene when I ran for office in 2006. She always gave generously and I deeply appreciated her support. She was a woman of conviction who never stopped standing up for what she believed in. She will be missed.
My condolences to the family. I know you will miss her so much. She was a singularly kind, smart and funny woman and a big reason I decided being a school librarian would be a great career. Colleen Corbin, class of 1970.
My love for reading was encouraged by this woman when I was a student at Reeths-Puffer. It has sustained me thru-out my entire life thru the good times and bad. I shared that love with my children and now share it with my young grand children, She will never be forgotten. A woman who really made a difference in this world Bonnie Johnson-Colegrove
