About | Armine was born on December 15, 1906 in Niagara Falls, NY, graduated from Albany State Teacher's College, and came to Warrensburg to teach in 1928. At that time the school was located on Stewart Farrar Street (f.k.a. School Street) across from the Presbyterian Church. She married Walter "Tink" Gurney of Warrensburg in 1933. During her years on the WCS faculty she taught French and Math. She retired in June 1966. She was probably best remembered for making everyone throw their gum in the wastebasket before class started. During her retirement she enjoyed gardening, was active in St. Cecilia's Catholic Church, and was a member of the John Thurman Historical Society. She died on June 18, 1981 in a nursing home in North Creek and was interred in the Catholic Cemetery in Warrensburg. She was survived by her husband Tink, who died in October 1987, and by her son Ben who lives in Phoenix, Arizona. Submitted by Ben Gurney ('63), her son. |
