I'm so sorry for your loss.  My folks are 90 and it seems they are not that far from heaven.

I am really sorry for your loss she was a great person

Just a quick note to all of you who have posted remarks here...
 
I want to sincerely thank you all for your kind words and remembrances of my Mom. While her passing leaves me heartbroken and with a definite void in my life and daily routine, it has been very comforting and heartwarming to read how much others who knew her loved her and treasured her as much as her family did. She was a remarkable woman ... kind, compassionate, funny, plucky and sassy, all rolled into one. As unique as they come. In the words of my brother, "she done good!"

Heaven is her home now, but I'm sure she'll be keeping watch over us all.

... Kevin

To Kevin and his family, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. I am sure no one will make a better "Guardian Angel" than your mother.  God Bless you all!

Lost a dear friend and co-worker. Had many fond memories and fun times together. She will surely be missed by all.  She has touched many lives.  Give Bud a big kiss for me.  R. I. P.

Mrs. Somerville was a one of a kind who earned respect by giving it, and by far the most popular substitute teacher in the district. She was an unforgettable feisty character, full of life and a bit mischievous herself. Her kind ways and huge heart will be remembered forever. I'll never forget when she showed up at my brother's funeral in 1998 even though I had moved out of Hillsdale 18 years earlier. What a thoughtful and compassionate person. The world needs more Mrs. Somervilles! Love and condolences to her family members and friends. RIP to a great lady.

Mrs. Somerville was a gentle soul with a huge heart able to share love wherever she went. Condolences to her family. There is an angel in heaven.May this candle light your path on this difficult journey .

When kids have someone like Mrs Somerville in their lives growing up, it stays with them forever. She was a joy and a treasure to have in our community and school. Thank you Mrs S, and God Bless you.

I remember your Mom fondly.  She was a great neighborhood Mom in New Milford. Always had an open door and a pitcher of Kool-Aid ready for all the kids. She was a wonderful friend to my mother, Frances. My condolences go out to all of you.  I know you will miss her. She was a great lady. Kind regards, Peggy

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Mrs. Somerville was a wonderful person who touched so many lives.  It made me happy just to see her.  RIP and may your family find peace in their time of grief.

I am honored to have had you touch my life in so many ways, Mrs. Somerville.  My siblings and I were blessed to grow up with your amazing children, a true reflection of their wonderful parents.  We were all blessed to have you as our substitute teacher at PV (and always looked forward to those days!)  And, my own children had the pleasure of having your daughter, Lynn, teach them at Smith School.  You will be sorely missed, Mrs. Somerville.  Heaven has gained another angel. xox

Had such a wonderful experience having her work at Stonybrook Swim Club, all the kids loved her!  The members use to chat with her and she would sweep her station every time she worked. Now she is laughing in heaven with the love of her life "SLIM". Rest in Peace Patty Hughes - Stonybrook Director :)

Mrs. Somerville was such a kind and wonderfully sassy woman. She touched so many lives including mine. She will forever be a PV Icon. Thoughts & prayers to her family and friends.

Mrs. Somerville made the school day a lot brighter.  Always had an encouraging word to share in the hallways.

Have known The Sommerville family since 1960 from the older boys all the way down to Dale. Spent time in her house when we were young and was blessed to have her as a substitute  teacher at times as she always had a great sense if humor and loved being with the kids. We used to run into each other at times and even 50+ years later she always remembered me. RIP Mrs Sommerville you are in a better place now where your students will all listen to you when you speak. Love to all the family.

I have fond memories of Mrs. Somerville from PVHS.  She was a great teacher and a wonderful person.  I am so saddened to hear of her passing. Rest in peace, Mrs. S.

Owen and I send our best to the whole Somerville family. We always remember going through the hedge to your house on Christmas Eve while at the Dinnenys. You would have loved to see how many people have written their wonderful memories of you.

Loved Merrieweather! She was a cog in the community wheel.

You were the best.  I'm sure no one could have been a better substitute than you !

You had the ability to make even the toughest students tow the line with just one look and that twinkle in your eye.  Thank you Mrs. Somerville for your time, dedication and service to so many students in our community.  We are all so blessed to have known you.  Trading in your cape for beautiful wings. There is definitely a new angel in Heaven.  You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. You will be missed by so many and always remembered fondly with a smile.

It is a very rare and special kind of person who can claim such an overwhelmingly positive impact on everyone they meet over the course of their lifetime. Mrs. Somerville, is most certainly one of those rare and special kind of people. And I still say "is" because she will remain in the thoughts and memories of countless numbers whose lives are better for having had her touch them, even if just for the briefest of moments.

You touched so many of our lives as a sub at PVHS.  When I found out you would be subbing in a class I was in I felt at peace because you were always so warm and caring.   You'll be missed and forever in our hearts

You meant so much to so many of us.  Thank you for making Pascack Valley High School and our worlds a better place. I just hope you were able to realize what an impact you had on all of us.

Our hearts and deepest sympathies go out to the Somerville family. ..Mrs.Somerville, know you are sadly missed and anyone that had the honor if being in one of your classes, was blessed by the best...

Mrs. Somerville was a wonderful substitute teacher and an overall superb person. She made PVHS a fun and warm place. She will be truly missed.

She made every student look forward to having a substitute at pascack valley

Rest in Peace in heaven Mrs S. You made us all feel like we were special. You remembered our names even though you probably subbed for tens of thousands of us over the years. Pascack Valley is a piece of me and yu were Pascack Valley... We are all better for having come across you in our lifetime.

Mrs. Somerville, you will be missed dearly...You touched so many hearts...I always remembering seeing you in the hall and asking if you were going to be my sub for that day, if your response was no , you would always follow up with "why do you need to talk" ? I knew I could always go to you! May God bless you and your family!

such a terrific lady. always looked forward to seeing her at pvhs. she made high school fun. and what a laugh she had.bless you mrs. Somerville.

Mrs. Somerville was an amazing person and best sub teach ever.   She was kind and sweet but you did not mess with her.

Any day became a great day when a PVHS class had Mrs. Somerville, she was always happy, always kind and never let the bad guys get away with anything!  She lived a wonderful long life, raised a great family and gave joy to many people.

Mrs. Somerville was a blessing to all those she came in contact with and we all were lucky to have had her in our lives during our formative years! May God Bless her family and may the out pouring of love here and on FB ease the sorrow for her family! To all PVHS ALUMNI, know that we all have a very special angel watching over us now!

What an amazing woman! What an unforgettable woman! She made any one of us who attend Pascack Valley feel as though we were one of her kids! She made a place in all are hearts and never will be forgotten! Prayers for then family! Thank you for sharing such an amazing person with us!

A great lady!  Tiny in size but a force to be reckoned with!  She touched so many lives at PVHS.

She touched so many people's lives and they are better people for having known her. Everyone who knew her, loved her. She was a great lady..

Mrs. Somerville was a spitfire of a woman! Always kind and caring, always accepting of the students she taught. It was a great day when Mrs. Somerville subbed for one for of your classes! Thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. I imagine she will shake up some things in heaven. RIP Mrs. Somerville

She was a well loved woman in our town.  My children had the privilege of knowing here during their school years and always spoke so highly of her.

Sommerville will be sorely missed!!! Not only was she an amazing sub at PV but she was an incredibly kind and compassionate individual.  It didn't matter if you saw her on the street or in the store, she always stopped to say hi and have a conversation with you, whether you were a current student or one that graduated years before.  We love you Sommerville and will miss you! <3

I remember her at Pascack Valley High School back in the 90s, she was a force to be reckoned with and will be missed.

Wonderful person.  Happy to have had the pleasure of knowing her.  May you find peace in knowing how many people's lives she touched. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

she was a ball of fire, she never slowed down and everyone at PVHS loved her. Kids actually went to class when she was the sub. She will be missed. Mrs Somerville and my mom worked together when sears had a catalog  store in Emerson nj. Heaven got a real great lady

Always a smile.  Always interested in and fully engaged in her conversations -- even with those who she only saw from time to time.  Always to be missed by those who knew her.

Mrs. Somerville... When you saw her at school you knew your day would be a good one. When you hear her name it put a smile on your face. I have thought about you throughout the years and the many wonderful memories I have of my high school years at Valley. You are a special person and you touched so many lives. You will truly be missed by many. I hope you knew that you were so loved by anyone that knew you. Thank you for being the person you are and for making my school years memorable. Gone but never forgotten. Peace to your family in this time of sadness.

A true champion and friend to everyone she embraced. A one in a million lady. I am a better person for having had the opportunity to know her and learn from her wisdom, kindness and quick wit. The next generation of students at PV have lost a champion. She is in good company now and I pray that God will allow her to continue to shine in her new community as she did in Hillsdale. She will be missed.

I had the pleasure of calling Lynn every night to send her to the Valley the next day to sub. Always had such kind words to say, She absolutely loved going to work and seeing the kids each day. Such a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed by all. So sorry for your family loss.

Mrs. Somerville was such a part of high school life at Pascack Valley. She was loved and respected by everyone! I will remember her fondly. 
Thoughts of peace and sympathy for her family during this diffucult time.

A wonderful lady with a smile for every kid at Pascack Valley High School.  She was a ray of sunshine.  So sorry for your family's loss.

Good memories of someone who always smiled and made each child feel special

Your mother was a wonderful lady who was full of stories. I always loved seeing her outside of PV on the streets of Hillsdale often outside of Pascack Pharmacy. She always remembered everyone of her students. She touched so many people's lives. May she live on in your hearts forever and be at peace with God.
