April Armstrong Obituary
April was a Doctor of Theology, noted lecturer and author, writing several works including co-authoring the Greatest Faith Ever Known with her father. Several of her books were to win awards including a Christopher Medal for The Greatest Faith Ever Known and the Georgetown University Medal for Water in the Wine. She retired from Sacred Heart University as a tenured professor in 1978.
