Even 30+ years later, I clearly remember Mrs. McCarthy as an unflappable island of calm. She was much loved by her students and will be remembered for her good humor, kindness and strength.

Mrs. McCarthy's passion for science and her stern when necessary guidance gave me the skills I needed to pursue my career in Nursing.
I will remember her and her family in my prayers.

So grateful to this amazing woman who inspired generations of women to be scientists, leaders, and, most importantly, principled, giving and faith-filled. Those of us who had the privilege of being her students hope that she is at peace in arms of the Sacred Heart.
