In Memoriam
“Her mind was brilliant, her faith was steadfast and her love for all around her never-ending. No one ever forgets Sister Joannene. She is more than a person; she's an experience!”
When she was missioned to the newly-opened Bishop Kearney High School in Rochester in the fall of 1963, she began 20 years of teaching math, a subject she loved at a school. She earned a M.A. in Math from Georgetown University in 1965 and another from the University of Detroit in 1970.
Sister Mary Anita was a woman of many talents; she was especially musical. She was a long-time member of the Handel Choir of Baltimore. She was kind, friendly, and helpful. Always positive, she enjoyed questioning and sharing opinions with others.
