As a student at Star of the Sea Academy, in San Francisco, she met the Sisters of St. Joseph. Following graduation, she came to Community in 1955. In 1958, she began her first mission experience as a teacher in grade school. Eventually she was teaching in high school. Twice she was missioned in Hawaii. While she loved San Francisco, she may have left her heart in Hawaii after a total of almost 30 years there.
The word joy brings to mind many qualities of her life. Joy’s joyful ways will be missed. Her legacy of love and laughter will long be remembered in our hearts and memories.
Information on services will come later.
