Sr. Pat taught me and my friends math at St. Sebastian’s. She made math accessible to me and she cared greatly about her students. Sad to see this and my condolences to her extended family and religious community.
Sr. Pat was my teacher at St. Sebastian’s in Needham. She was dedicated, passionate, and faithful. May she enjoy her the reward of her many labors.
I had sister Pat in math at Archbishop Williams High in braintree Ma. Class of 1982. She was a good teacher and a greater person. She will be missed.
