I, too, first met Mickie as a teacher in her Narnia programme. She was an extraordinary woman whose grace, charm, fierce intellect and lively wit lit up a room. Mickie was a kind and generous friend to so many people and a wonderfully devoted wife, mother and grandmother. I had the privilege of staying with her a few years ago and marvelled at her energy, enthusiasm and zest for life, even in the twilight of her years. She was a larger-than-life character who will be greatly missed. It was a privilege to have known her. My heartfelt condolences to all the family.

I feel so blessed to have known this couple well for many years. My roommate at the time, Sheila Flanigan, and I, met Mickie and Chuck when we first lived in NYC. Monsignor Eugene Clark introduced us, and a great friendship blossomed. As the story goes, they eloped many years ago while in college, if I recall correctly; much to the shock of their both respectable families. They’d known each other TWO WEEKS when she eloped in her bathing suit! They were married until Chuck’s death some 15 years ago, and we lost Mickie this past week on October 19,2019 at 93 years of age. They were blessed with two daughters, and both became friends of mine. Mickie was one of the most dynamic, vivacious, beautiful, sexy, maternal, funny and clever women I’ve ever met. Huge blue eyes, and a thick mane (of shoulder length grey hair when I first met her), and opera length pearls. We’d shop (share Loehmann’s dressing room!), lunch, and have heart to heart talks. I taught in her Narnia program for years, and simply loved it. A woman of strong faith and convictions, she was playful and dramatic. A natural mimic, Mickie could slip into a character and be hilariously funny. She loved and believed in education and in reading, read voraciously to her grandchildren, and we had many a night in both their NYC apartment and in the Hamptons where we’d read P.G. Wodehouse aloud. (In fact, she once contacted him in Remsenburg and invited him to Amagansett for supper! Unfortunately he was no longer accepting invitations). Mickie counseled me through many a beau, fell in love with Andy right along with me, and Andy with her, and her fabulous husband, Chuck. What a powerhouse couple. He an extrovert, Mickie I suspect not by nature, but made every attempt to be one, filling their homes with love, family and friends, making a measurable difference in the lives of so many. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mickie and Chuck. You’re one of a kind. I love you and shall miss you.

Chuck & Mickie Teeter were friends with my parents. They lived on the same street that we lived on, South 22nd St. In Richmond, IN.This would have been 1952-1960.

Right out of college at FIT in NY I was introduced to Mickie. She was the same age as my mother. I had never before befriended anyone outside my own generation, but there I was, wowed by her elegance, style, beauty and unparalleled charm. Aside from drafting me as a teacher in her new idea, “The Narnia Clubs”, she also encouraged me to become a style consultant, and even allowing herself to be the guinea pig. I’ll never forget what a sport she was when I suggested that her favorite green dress was definitely “past its sell-by date”. Her style consultant idea actually did take hold, morphed over the years, and consequently, has impacted the lives of thousands. Mickie’s legacy of love will live on in those that knew her. She will surely be watching with great joy from Heaven as she sees the fruits of her life, living on, in all those she has touched.

Mickey received almost every gift that God could give a woman: she was gorgeous (some people compared her to Elizabeth Taylor); she had a great sense of style; she was charming with a great sense of humor; she put people at ease; she was well read; she was a great storyteller with a beautiful voice; she was a great audience; she was in touch with current events; she had the gift of friendship and protected confidences; she had an amazing husband and children and grandchildren; she had a series of beautiful, comfortable homes. What was beautiful and unique about Mickie is she tried to use all these gifts and use them for God. She worked tirelessly using these gifts and friendship to create amazing homes where guests were welcome and treasured (Russell Kirk to simple Spaniards one of whom ended up becoming a nun). When her home wasn’t being used, she lent it for retreats. Because she was so concerned about spreading the faith to children, with the help of friends, she created Narnia and later MCCI (Montessori Catechetical and Cultural Institute). While catechizing the children, these initiatives catechized the teachers and the parents. She created subcultures that Russell Kirk would write about where persons can be loved, grow, and thrive and eventually spread the faith And all this work was in sense on the side because she was first a wife, mother and later grandmother, passing on her love of the faith and life and culture to her girls, their spouses and their children. 3. She had a special vocation to Opus Dei and reflected all the good in this organization. She was a friend of our Lord and being a true friend is one of the great charisms of Opus. She lived order which may seem secondary but it allowed her to accomplish so much. She often would say “I have to get organized” and yet she was so orderly, savoring her prayer, loving our Lady with the rosary never missing mass. Anyone who attended St Catherine would recognize her old, but well kept, white BMW in the parking lot. She was always on time, respecting others time. She never “binge watched” Netflix. She would enjoy a movie with her family and discuss it afterwards. And in her free time, she would read and reread the great books and spiritual classics freely passing on copies when she loved one book especially. 4. She was a gifted conversationalist. She believed there should be one conversation at meals so shy people could be part of something larger and part of the fun. (One conversation please!) Conversations had to be of general interest and she would draw people out asking their opinion. (Not of general interest). She loved people madly and because of this they warmed themselves by the fire of her love. 5. She was real and this was part of her charism. She didn’t gossip, but you knew her likes and dislikes. 6. She loved priests, religious and all consecrated lay people and they loved her. She intuitively knew they need needed encouragement, prayers and, in many ways, friendship.

This is one of the few bits of news that brought instant tears to my eyes. Mickie was a guardian angel. I was so lonely when I moved to New York City. I also felt so outclassed and over my head. Mickie was the first person to welcome me into her beautiful home at Sutton Place and make me feel like I belonged. Better yet, she made me feel like I deserved to be "part of the club." For Mickie it was just another day ending in Y where she extended her kindness to dozens of new people. But for me it was life changing. I gotta say, after dealing with those 12 preternaturally dumb apostles, Jesus is assembling a pretty awesome group of people in heaven. Karen, my mom, and now Mickie. Before, I used to dread that heaven was a place where nothing really happened. Now I am starting to see it is a place where we will be reunited in eternity with the people we loved best. And we will realize that they were not even people when they visited this earth. We just had the privilege of entertaining angels. Micheal Flaherty
