Carol Ann Dunne
Carol Ann (Lucas) Dunne, age 86 of Rockville, Maryland passed away on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 in the comfort of her home.

Carol attended Aquinas High School in Chicago, Illinois, received her Bachelor's Degree in Education from St. Mary's College in South Bend, Indiana, and earned her Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Trinity College in Washington, DC. Carol dedicated over three decades of her life to teaching at Holy Cross Elementary in Garrett Park, Maryland, where she was twice recognized as Teacher of the Year by the Archdiocese of Washington. She was a passionate and dedicated educator who had a special gift for making learning an enjoyable and enriching experience for the hundreds of children she taught over the years.

Thank you Mrs. Dunne for believing in your students that we could be great achievers, excellent writers, creative problem solvers, and serve our community responsibly and selflessly knowing that we are loved unconditionally by God, family, faculty, and our community as we attempt to exemplify good living through Jesus´ teachings. I am honored that you were my third grade teacher and that I was a student of your first classroom. I am eternally grateful for you having the vision to identify that I needed academic assistance to be successful in the classroom and working with other professionals to guide me through a journey that has brought me motivation, patience, happiness, love, security, achievements and opportunities to pay it forward to others who needed support academically, emotionally, socially, spiritually and accountability. You challenged me with the workload and I persevered after many fails. Your multiplication times table project prepared me for my accounting career. I´m sorry that I was difficult at times but love you for encouraging me to be a good Christian. I wish today´s students would be fortunate to have you teach them. I´ve been best friends with Hagop Balekjian for forty-six years. We´re thankful for you I learned humility, acceptance, perseverance, trust and courage that year to be me and be there for others who feel overwhelmed and alone. You inspired me. You will be eternally remembered. Your family is in my prayers. I always happy to see you the few times our paths crossed. Kalo Paradeiso
