Sister Vincent (Frances Virginia) Ponceitta, OP died peacefully in San Rafael on June 19, 2007 after a brief illness. Born and raised in Napa, she entered the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael in 1936.
Sister Vincent spent a majority of her life teaching in Catholic...
Read MoreSR. Vincent has been a fond memory for this student in her '46 St, Vincent Class. She used the Dick and Jane readers and encouraged academic competition. The first seat in the first row was the highest achievement. I enjoyed competing and she certainly showed her love for us in all of her teaching.

I was a student of Sister Vincent at St Raphael's in San Rafael in the mid '50s. Her passing seems to be another mark of the end of an older era.

Just over a month ago my wife and I attended a Class of 1957 reunion for St. Vincent Ferrer Elementary School in Vallejo. Sr. Vincent attended the reunion. As she was our class 1st Grade teacher in 1949-50, I was pleasantly surprised at the vitality and energy Sr. Vincent still had. She greatly added to the reunion. Our prayers go out to her relatives and the Dominican community.
