Mrs. Finney was my favorite teacher at North Platte High School. She always looked so pretty and stylish sitting on her stool teaching us. She will be missed!

Andrea, your mother was one of my very favorite teachers. I loved her history and contemporary issues classes. She was a dedicated instructor who was very special to so many students. Most of all, I loved her vivacious, fun-loving personality. When together, she and I would recall an especially funny adventure which made us both laugh aloud years after! She was such a blessing in my life. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Both my husband Tom and I were privileged to have had Mrs. Finney as a high school teacher. What we remember most about her was her genuine care for her students, her sense of humor, and her smile. Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.
