From St. Joseph’s Academy, class of 1950, to senior life at Park Danforth, our lives have crossed. And at 4:30 Mass at St. Pius my husband John and I always sat in the pew right behind her. We are shocked and saddened by her unexpected death, but thankful, as she would be, that she was spared a lingering illness. Rest in peace, dear Ann. Barbara DeCoste
