To the Judges Family and Friends:

Please accept our deepest sympathies. The obituary describes her so well. In addition she cared deeply for the people she worked with - all the court personnel from clerks, staff, probation officers, and court officers to her judicial colleagues. There would be times we would have an event at the court and she would bake something for it.

She lived the Jesuit education motto of creating people for others.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Michael Sullivan
And the Members of the Superior Court Clerks Association
