Barbara bought a car off of me and I just came across her name in my address book and I looked up our conversations. She was a very special lady who I enjoyed working with. She was such a sweet person and she definitely left an imprint in my heart. Rest in peace Barbara. You were a wonderful person and I know your family misses you dearly. I will keep them in my prayers.

Barbara Mylite was myabsolutely favorite teacher in high school and because of her tremendous influence, encouragement, and unconditional support of a lonely bullied adopted “egghead” teenage girl in so insular a community of Holocaust survivors I went on to achieve multiple degrees, including a PhD from Yale University, all on fellowships. 
May her family and friends be comforted by the knowledge that she inspired so many grateful students to strive for excellence and defy cultural norms in the pursuit of knowledge. 


Memoriam to Barbara Mylite, by Vincent J. Tomeo

You were a petite dynamo.
A purveyor of possibility, outspoken, intelligent, and committed spokesperson to the Union (UFT) cause, kind and caring.

I knew you on a hundred levels. You were an intellectual delight. An excellent teacher, an innovator, and motivator. Your enthusiasm was infectious. You were a titanic voice, that can still be heard today.

Barbara, you did not die. Your voice and work live on in all the people you touched and taught. The precedence you created. The ground rules you herald will live on. 

As Abraham Lincoln said, “Writing is the ability to communicate from the grave to the yet unborn.”

Barbara, your message(s) have been heard. You were a visionary, and a humanitarian. 

You will be sorely missed.

I will always remember your wry wit, repartee.

Rest in Soft Peace, my wonderful friend!

To the person who helped get me involved in union organizing. You were a dedicated unionist. You lead life of advocacy and championed unionism. Thanks for all your late night pep talks where I felt isolated as a new chapter leader. Cheers. You will be missed.

She helped many teachers and paraprofessionals through difficulties.
Rest In Peace, Barbara.

I was shocked to hear about the sudden and sad news of Barbara’s passing.  I only saw her a few months ago. Like Sandy, I spent many hours and late nights on the phone and in her car talking and at the office waiting for her to finish up so we could go to dinner together.  It seems like only yesterday, I helped her pack up for her Retirement from a Union she loved❤️! Farewell my friend may you Rest In Peace. My deepest and sincerest condolences go out to her family.

My Condolences to her family !  May she Rest In Peace.

Shocking news! What a fighter for the underdog, she was to us union members! 

Sending heartfelt sympathy to her family and colleagues! She will be sorely missed.

I remember her as a teacher and was privileged to meet her years later when I became a teacher.   She was funny and charismatic and she will be missed.

Barbara was a wonderful mentor to me when I started working with the UFT. She always had a funny story to share. My sincere condolences to the family!

Condolences to you and your family . She visited our school many times and was very helpful . She was a kind person . She will be missed .

So sorry to hear about Barbara. She was always a bright light andamp;  such a nice person, with a good sense if humor. I was shocked to hear of her passing. I will always remember, as a teacher, she had a sign over her door, "The Mylite Zone". She will be missed.

I will always remember my friend and my mentor.  At times, I looked up to her as my second mother.  We would spend hours talking over the phone and in her car.   Barbara shared beautiful stories about her childhood, her parents and her family.    My condolences and deepest sympathy to the family.  ♥️

So sorry to your family for your loss. I will miss her very much !
She was always just a phone call/text away always ready to talk and meet up for lunch! I can’t believe she’s gone and we won’t have another lunch date! 😞🙏🏻
