I was so sorry to read about Annie´s passing. We worked together for so many years at St.Stans and she was a great nurse and wonderful boss. My fondest memory was always working 3-11 with her on Christmas Eve every year. We would punch out and walk over to Holy Child for midnight Mass. My you rest in peace Dear Friend.

To the Gluchowski family I extend my sincere sympathy on the loss of your dear mother. Back in the early 70´s I worked with "Annie", as we called her at St Stan´s. She was a wonderful nurse, a warm and kind friend and she had a great sense of humor. I know you will miss her but remember she made a difference in many lives. May she rest in peace.

My Deepest Sympathy to all of Ann's family. I am friends with her niece Barbara Haydock Fegal. Barbara doesn't live that far from me. We both went to St. Marys Parochial School together. Both graduated from there in 1966. Then Barb and I graduated from Greater Nanticoke Area High School in 1970. I remember Barb's late brother Michael who was 3 yrs. younger than us.
My mother was close friend's with Barb's mother Irene.
Once again my condolences on your loss.
