Not sure what to say?

What was her name at Holy Rosary? I dont remember Sr Nancy and she probably taught me. Thank you!

Nancy was a regular visitor to Laois and Kilkenny over many years We enjoyed so much having her with us She loved to meet all the grand nieces and nephews and was always full of exciting stories We were lucky to have made a visit to her home last summer She will be sadly missed by all of us Ar dheis de go raibh anam dilis

May you Rest In Peace Nancy. You visited me in Delgany Co Wicklow when we lived there. We often met at different functions and picked up where we left off. I will miss you dear Nancy

Nancy Duggan has a long history with the Tacoma Dominican Community. She is the beloved companion of Camilla Barrett, Marie Celine Bradshaw, Sisters Catherine Prendergast, Nora Murphy and Mary Pat Murphy who traveled together from Ireland in March 1952 to join the Tacoma Dominicans. This group was known as the "big six companions" who remained close friend over these many years. Nancy was known as a dedicated educator and taught at St. Edward's School, Holy Rosary School in Seattle,....

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