Sister Marilyn was my seventh grade teacher at St. Ignatius in the 1953-54 school year. It was a double grade class of sixth and seventh graders. She was my favorite teacher and an inspiration to me in becoming a Catholic School teacher/principal. I loved staying after school to help Sister. I remember that year so well and throughout the many years that have passed she was often in my thoughts. May Sister Pat Finn rest forever in peace with our Savior, Jesus Christ. Through all these...

Pat was a wonderful educator and a blessing to all of us in the Diocese of Cleveland. Please know of my prayers for her family and her beloved CSJ community during this difficult time.

Sister Pat, you were the ultimate educator- all that the word means. You believed in students and their capabilities. When they were ready to give up, you lifted them up. I watched first hand the role you played and will never forget your gentle persistence and unfailing belief in what they could do. Soar with the angels dear Sister

May you rest in Peace Sr. Pat. You touch our family in many ways, classmate to my mother, and Principal to my sisters and myself. A legend at SJA.

When I was a student at St. Ignatius of Antioch Elementary School, Sr. Marilyn gave me a loving but stern talking-to on the playground about choosing friends wisely. She recognized an innate sweetness in my very young self and didn't want me to fall in with the wrong crowd. These many, many years later, I still remember that talk! Thank you, Sr. Marilyn, for being such a caring teacher! Rest in Peace and Glory with the angels.

Thank you for believing in me when I didn´t believe in myself. I can still hear your voice telling me to "Just keep your wits about you." Thanks to you, I have always kept my wits about me, and my children are now learning to keep their wits about them. You will always remain one of the things I treasured most from my time at Saint Joseph Academy, and beyond. Thank you for all that you were, everything you knew I could be, and what you will remain, at least for me - a guardian angel. Rest now...

Rest in Peace Sr. PAT. You were a grat mentor to me as a young teacher at CCC. A wonderful strong leader and yet always the time for a personal touch for the people that worked there. I have many fond memories from my years at CCC.
