Mary Gerard Flaherty

Dear Meg, Ann and all the Flaherty Family: Unfortunately I did not know your mom but I can tell from knowing the two of you and some of her wonderful grandchildren that she left a beautiful legacy on this earth. She was a strikingly beautiful lady and she has certainly passed that along to her gorgeous daughters. It also seems that beauty went beyond skin deep-she left a wonderful extended family behind. I hope your warm memories of her will give you comfort in the days ahead. I am sure you were all a source of much joy for her. Keeping you all in my prayers- Much love Tracy Brennan Graham and Neville Graham

Dear Ann, Julie, Tom, John, Petey, Jack and family,

We never had the pleasure of meeting your mother; it sure seems that we missed out on meeting a ver special woman. She did a wonderful job raising amazing women in Ann and Julie, both smart kind people.

We are sorry to have missed her celebration of life but please know you are all in our prayers.

God Bless,

On behalf of President/Chief Administrator David Eustis and the entire Northwest Catholic High School community, I offer my deepest sympathy on the passing of Mary Flaherty.

Mary's daughters, Meg Flaherty '77, Ann Louise Flaherty Steinle '79, Susan Flaherty '82 and Julie Flaherty Livingstone '84, are treasured members of the NWC community, so we mourn Mary's loss along with all who love her.

Please know that we will remember Mary and all her family in a special way during our daily prayers this week and also at our next school-wide Mass. We are very sorry for your loss.

It was a wonderful ceremony. Aunt Mary was an amazing person. I was telling Jay and Julie that she was my first teacher, preschool at St Joseph's. I liked her so much, my parents decided I should take two years of kindergarten. She taught me and my friend joe Murphy the hokey pokey and to twirl ourselves about.

I do have great memories of family get togethers at the Flaherty house or Lusignan house watching a lot of Norte dame or playing ping pong. She raised great kids and has wonderful grand kids. Mary will be missed. All my thoughts and prayers

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the entire family. We have such fond memories of you all. Mary was a bright light and will truly be missed. Xo

Dear Flaherty family -

About 40 years ago, I had the good fortune of having Mrs. Flaherty as my nursery school teacher at St. Joseph College. She set a very high bar that few of my teachers could follow in the years to come. Despite my young age, I remember her clearly and most fondly. Her talent as a teacher combined with her genuine affection for her students made me so excited to go to school and learn. She was a special lady and I am so greateful to have known her. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

My deepest sympathy to Jim and his family.

Michael and I and all our guys have wonderful memories of Mary and her beautiful family. She will be sorely missed by all, but, I am sure she will remain in all our hearts as the loving and generous person she was.
Our thoughts and prayers go to all the Flaherty's. Nancy and Michael Curran

Jim and family ... our sincere sympathy to you all. Mary was a wonderful lady.

Ann & the entire Flaherty Family: I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you and all your family & loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers. You now have a special angel watching you from above. May she rest in peace
