Sr. Mary Ann was my eighth grade teacher my first year at the Academy. She was such a caring person and knew how to make a lost, frightned kid feel welcome in a new school. I have such fond memories of her.
My deepest sympathy to her family and especially, George, who I got to know many years later .

I was so sorry to learn of Sr. Mary Ann's death. I have very fond memories of her taking care of me on Mr. Peter Nasca's school bus when I was in Primer (Kindergarten) Grade, We went to St. Agnes School and she was a few years older. She watched over a frightened 5 year old. Even way back then she was such a caring and loving person. She will be missed. Rose Saia Piper
