Judy’s life in mission included formal education at schools in the Baltimore area. She taught mathematics and served in administrative roles as dean of students and vice principal.

We continue to thank God for the gift of Judy, her service, and her loving presence.

Eileen was known to her large family and many friends in SSND and beyond by many names: “Rene,” Auntie, Eileen and Sister. Eileen was a lifelong learner whose interests were broad and deep.

We remember and give thanks for Eileen’s generous spirit among us.
