Anne Kennedy McCafferty

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on June 18, 1934, Anne was the oldest daughter of Joseph and Geraldine Horrigan. She lived her early life in Cleveland, OH graduating from The Beaumont School in 1953 and was a member of the first graduating class of women at the University of Dayton with an education degree. She taught middle school English and History at St. Joseph’s School in Baytown, TX before “retiring” to New Buffalo, MI where she eventually retired after another twenty-five years of substitute teaching. In addition to a good book and her Irish heritage, she loved the classroom and left an indelible mark on those students who were fortunate to have her as a teacher.

Anne is survived by her three children, James McCafferty, Jr. of Texas, Neil McCafferty (Carolyn Natale) of Massachusetts, and Molly Seegers (Scott) of Connecticut; her three sisters, Jane Horrigan, Helen Geiss and Sue Horrigan; her grandchildren, Patrick, Jack, Louis, Sean, Brian, Eileen, Teddy and Laura; and her great grandson, River. She is preceded in death by her husband James McCafferty; her two brothers Jack Horrigan and Joseph Horrigan; and her parents.
