Theresa Broderick Johnson ‘67 passed away on Sept. 15, 2020. She was with her husband Pat, and is survived by her four children, four grandchildren, and three of her six siblings. She will be greatly missed by her family. Terri lived a full and amazing life, with a heart full of love and compassion. She treasured her memories of her time at Mercy.
1970
After graduation, Donna Thompson Antosiak ‘70 went to Europe with the Foreign Study League that was chaperoned by nuns. Vicky Patt talked her into going on this 6-week adventure through Europe. She said, “We will be sleeping in castles and everything.” At 17, she thought sleeping in castles was “way cool.” Turns out they never slept in any castles–mainly dorms and convents instead. She finally did get to sleep in castles during her honeymoon 20 years later. Donna does NOT recommend staying in castles in Europe in April–way too cold! Donna graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Environment Planning. After working a few years with “at risk teens,” she decided to go back to get a Master’s degree in Community Counseling. This led her to a 35-year career in Human Resources in Silicon Valley high-tech. There she met her husband Randy, a high tech engineer. They were married on April Fool’s Day in 1989. They have two children, Matt and Kaycee, who live in the Bay Area. Together they have travelled the world: Chile, Cuba, India, Korea, Japan, Machu Picchu, Peru, Galapagos islands, Jordan, Israel, and all over Western and Eastern Europe. Donna retired recently and has started playing pickleball, plans to volunteer as soon as the SIP lifts, and is still skiing at Squaw. She looks forward to the next chapter!

Robin Leach Bosche ‘70 reports, “All is good here!” She tries to always remember to count blessings instead of dwelling on the recent craziness. Robin, her husband Rodney, and their dog, cat, and horse live on a small ranch in Novato, CA. They enjoy
their wonderful two daughters and their spouses, grandkids, and now a great grandson! Robin and Rodney travel as much as possible–exploring, scuba diving, meeting new people, and experiencing new adventures. They spend winters on a tiny island in Belize, where they have a house right on the water, and enjoy a slower and more simple lifestyle. Grateful for much...
