Mary Claire O'Neill

On behalf of all Sisters of the Holy Names, especially those who taught at Holy Names Academy, Seattle, may we offer prayerful sympathy to Mary's family and friends. May her new way of living in God's Presence bring great peace and joy to her and may you experience Mary's nearness always.

My first and favorite memory of Mary is when I was attending WW with a not-so-entertaining leader. One Tuesday the lady was absent and in walked Mary as the substitute leader! I was excited to have a new leader, if only for one time. Mary was delightful and had 2 pieces if great advice! One was, if you ever get desperate, there is always a subway store near by and the 2nd (life advice) was... you cannot control what life brings but you can control how you react to it! Thank you Mary!!

I am a Weight Watchers employee and am proud to say that my time at the company overlapped with Mary Claire's. She was such a class act and I was honored to have known her. I was a mother of young children when we first met, and admired the fact that her children and grandchildren were her top priority. For years after her retirement, members still remembered and asked about her and I know that she will be greatly missed.
