Sister Margaret was a cousin of mine whom I did not get to meet until the last few years of her life.  She always called whenever she came to Vancouver and we always made time to have lunch together.  I regret I did not get to know her sooner. She was a wonderful representative of her Order and servant of God whom she loved so much.  Rest in Peace dear lady.

So sorry to just hear of Mother Connolly's passing.I have many memories of her at Sacred Heart in Vancouver,especially many long walks and chats when I was head girl in "76" (I think!!)I will always think of her warmly.

The one bright light in my years at the Convent. Thank you

this light will burn in all the love you gave to so many

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU.

SISTER MARIE MARC  SACRED HEART CONVENT OF OTTAWA.

So sorry to hear of her passing. I remember her well from the Sault between 1956 and 1958.

Dear Mother Connolly and religious of the Sacred Heart...
Thank you so much for your encouragement, acceptance and support during all my years of school at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Point Grey, Vancouver, British Columbia.. You made many things possible and I know I would not have achieved things in my life if you had not been a large part of my  young years.
Thank you also for strengthening my faith in God..

Mother Connolly was the Senior Teacher in charge of the Sacred Heart Convent in Vancouver while I attended there from 1960 until my graduation in June 1966. I remember her smile, energy, efficiency,sense of fun, and her kindness as well as a few trips to her office in order to discuss some aspect of my boarding school life.. She was instrumental as was the school she represented in shaping my life despite the personal  challenges which I faced during those years.  The Vancouver Sacred Heart Convent and Mother Connolly's bright strong leadership and genuine love prompted me to  seek my own teaching career with special children. Thank you so much dear Mother Connolly for your guiding light and indomitable spirit..I owe so much to you..and to the Religious of the Sacred Heart, Point Grey, Vancouver, British Columbia.
They were pioneers in total loving acceptance and integration for students with challenges, long before it became an accepted norm.

Thank you again from my heart....

Sincerely,

Sister Margaret was always a bright light during my visits to Barat Residence. With her warm smile, generous heart and wonderfully dry sense of humour, she could lift one's spirits on even the cloudiest of days. I especially cherish my memories of my visits with Douglas the poodle. Sister Margaret and Douglas enjoyed a special bond that was a joy to behold.

Sr. Margaret Connolly was truly a woman of the Church, and a woman with a heart for the poor.  I feel a deep gratitude to God that our lives were interwoven through the time we shared in Prince George. Now that she is home with her God, whom she served so generously, I trust she will be able to continue to be a "mover and a shaker" on behalf of groups such as Kairos!

A very wonderful woman has gone to her reward. It was a privilege to know Sr. Margaret. Her work with the CWL council in Kitimat was inspiring. Rest in peace, Sr. Margaret.

The passing of Mother Margaret Connolly marks the end of an era for me.  RIP Mother, and thank you for your patience, and insight.  Thank you for the good times.

I spent many great times with Sr. Margaret at the Domano Renewal Centre. She was a most interesting woman, a fount of information and wisdom, and a lot of fun. I wonder if her watch still chimes the hour in Heaven or did St. Peter turn it off! I offer my sympathy to her family and community.

My sympathies to Margaret's community and family. Our time with her at St. Joe's in Ottawa was special

Our community is remembering you, Margaret in our prayer. Thank you for the work you have done in our Local Church.

For the joy and ray of sunshine that you brought into our lives each time we saw you on your bicycle around the city and on our driveway. We hope you enjoyed your quiet times in our arbor. You were a little earth angel that we were fortunate to have met. Though we are unable to attend your gathering, we wish you well on your journey home. Till we meet again - Love and Light.
Our deepest condolences to the family.
Blessings
The Gilliard family
Prince George, BC

I enjoyed my times with Margaret, and what a great lady she was.My prayers are with her
