Sr. Ann was a compassionate confidante while I was a student at Emmanuel College and became a wonderful friend when college was done. Sr. Ann attended many, many of my Christmas parties where her positive energy lit up the room. All the former grads present were always so happy to see her. My family was very fond of her. Sr. Ann was one of the kindest people I have ever known and I will miss her greatly. Sr. Ann was truly a shining example of God's love on earth.
Sincerely, Melissa Daley

My deepest sympathy to Sister Ann's family. She was an incredible person that influenced my life at St. Joseph's High School when she was my teacher in 1964 & 1965. May your happy face be with the angels in heaven.

Sister Ann was my homeroom teacher at St. Joseph's Girl's High School. She was an inspiration and a great help to me. When I decided to get married instead of going to nursing school (none of which accepted married students), she was very concerned about my lack of office skills. She offered to teach me to type and ultimately got me a job with the phone company. I'll remember her always as a kind, loving and funny teacher who didn't let us get away with anything.
