1955

Joanne O’Connor Hynek and husband Dan celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in October 2019. They feel blessed with their children and grandchildren. Joanne also appreciates her Sacred Heart education, the Religious and good friends who have enriched her life.

Cynthia Crump Crimmims

is a great grandmother! Jane Gillespie Steinthal’s big news is her son Jim and his wife Sally are living and working in Singapore. Several grandchildren also started college in the fall. Tom’s daughter Daisy graduated from Sacred Heart Greenwich and is at Georgetown, Jim’s son Henry is at Lafayette and John’s son Michael is rowing for Yale. She hopes to see everyone in September for the 60th reunion!

1956

Margi Brown Gregory has 14 grandchildren ages 7–31 and two great grandchildren. Her husband, Jim, has been gone for four and a half years. The book that she and Jim started in 2011 is finally in print. “Becoming Real — A Love Story, A Faith Journey” was a true labor of love to finish. Now that the book is complete, she keeps busy with watercolor classes and bible studies. 1 Molly Wade McGrath and her husband, Norman, spent most of last year welcoming a miracle baby, Annabel Wade McGrath, into their family and helping her mother adjust to motherhood. She would be happy to offer details to anyone who might be interested.

1958

Suzanne Taylor Seitz received the Outstanding Alumna Award at Reunion in recognition of the extensive collection of memorabilia that she has donated to the School’s Archive. Many of her classmates were in attendance at the award ceremony to celebrate this honor.

1959

The Class of ’59 had its 60th Reunion in September and had a wonderful time. Their former classmate, Joan Egan Mendelson, was awarded the Outstanding Alumna Award posthumously in recognition of her commitment to Sacred Heart over the years.

Dolores Cox Agnew received a wonderful memento from her

classmates thanking her for being their class agent for the past 60 years, and it brought tears to her eyes. It has been such a joy for her to help her classmates stay in touch all these years. She will stay in Florida all year and does not plan to return to the north for the summer months. She will still make short trips for family events and hopes to see

some of her classmates then, too. Margie Naughton was so pleased to attend the 60th Reunion and to see Joani’s husband, John, and her daughters accept the Outstanding Alumna Award in her honor. She feels so blessed to have attended Sacred Heart not only for the excellent education but also for the friendships that have lasted through the years. When she tells her NYC friends that she is in touch with people she went to high school with, they are amazed. Joan Murphy Kelly fell on Christmas Eve morning and broke her hip as she was preparing for Moira and her family’s arrival. She had to have a total hip replacement and is making good progress. Her girls have been fabulous in their support, which has been a blessing in the midst of trauma. DeDe Mannix Burke is looking forward to having her sister Sheila Mannix ’54 come and live with her in Pound Ridge. Sheila is sure to bring lots of “Brooklyn” Dodger memorabilia with her. June Dolce Heffernan celebrated her husband Jack’s 80th birthday over Thanksgiving in Florida with all 33 family members there. Her granddaughter, Molly Trimble ’11, is engaged to be married the same day and same place in 2020.

1962

2 The Class of 1962 recently gathered for a luncheon and had a very pleasant time. Pam Wall Madden’s 6 month old grandson, Hunter, was recently hospitalized with pneumonia and her son, Andy, had back surgery. All are recuperating, but it has been a lot of caregiving since Andy cannot pick up more than 10 pounds and Hunter is 16 pounds. Her other grandson, Theo, celebrated his 5th birthday party with live animals; she loves being a grandmother!

2 The Class of 1962 enjoys catching up at a recent luncheon

Pat Meyer recently sold her sailboat due to her retirement. Sheila Hickey Cameron’s son-in-law had a serious accident 1 1/2 years ago and is a paraplegic. He was able to sail in a “Disability Race” sponsored by Larchmont and American Yacht Clubs and he did very well. It is such a fantastic idea — there were even blind sailors who had able bodied people assist them.

Christina Norris Diskint is giving up some of her volunteer work and training others on Emergency Response Preparedness.

Jackie Paterno Kirby is enjoying retirement and working with the Audubon society rescuing birds and other animals. Libby King gets to see her sister, Kay, and go on various excursions in the city and beyond.

1964

Ursula Moore Smith lunched with Pamela Juan Hayes at the Reunion in September and was amazed at all the new facilities, programs and improvements at the School. Pam is retiring as Head of School at the end of this year, and all of her ’64 classmates are very proud of her for all she has done for Sacred Heart Greenwich and the other Sacred Heart schools.

1967

3 It has been a news-filled year for Mary Francina Golden. Her older daughter, Brianne Handal, graduated Geisinger Medical School in May and is in the middle of her first year of an anesthesiology residency. She will return to their hometown in July, where she will do her next three years of residency at NYU/ Langone. Her younger daughter, Kolbe Handal, is an actress living in Brooklyn. Mary Francina has had the pleasure of working with her in several Shakespeare productions. Kolbe also graduated (dean’s list) from the International Culinary Center, specializing in bread baking. After 20 years of not pursuing work, Mary Francina went back to acting ten years ago. Her husband of 36 years, Ken Handal, has retired from his law career. They love to travel, especially to Hawaii. She regularly sees classmates Cathy Moran Vermylen and Evelyn Cole and was so pleased to see many of her classmates at their 50th reunion in 2017.

1968

Lynne McGowan Wheat is thrilled to be an expectant grandmother.

Kathy Teichgraeber Merrill is thrilled to be planning the wedding of her daughter, Antonia. She and her husband, Mike, traveled to India with Natica del Valle von Althann and her husband, Victor, mainly through Rajasthan. Natica says the Taj Mahal at dawn is one of the most beautiful sights to behold in this world. Kerry Brown is busy commuting between Rye and Florida, spending time with her many grandchildren. Cathy Egan Cronin is enjoying Vero life, most especially the First Friday mass and luncheons with Sacred Heart alumnae in the area.

1969

The Class of 1969 had an outstanding number of classmates in attendance for last September’s 50th Reunion. Looking great and coming together in deep

friendship, everyone agreed that it was wonderful to catch up in person! Congratulations to Marion O’Grady on receiving the Outstanding Alumna Award in recognition for her commitment to Sacred Heart. Joanne Stevens Carter and her husband are both hoping to retire this year and plan to do some traveling. They still spend a lot of time with their children and grandchildren although they are getting older too: Garret (15), Ella (14), Caitlin (12), and Mia (10). They bring so much joy into their lives, and they feel blessed they are all close enough for Sunday dinners. Joan WootersReisin spent Christmas with her sister, Kathy, and brother-in-law, Rick, at a house in the historic district of Stratford-upon-Avon, England. On Christmas Eve, they saw a brilliant production of King John at the RSC, followed by a festive dinner and midnight mass at Trinity Church built in 1210. They enjoyed plenty of mince pie, shortbread and Christmas pudding during their visit. Morgan Barry Morton and her husband, Allen, moved into their renovated home in Historico Centro in San Miguel de Allende in October and have had a steady stream of guests ever since. Their daughters and grandchildren came for Christmas and New Years and loved all of the Mexican festivities and fireworks. They are slowly learning Spanish and enjoying getting to know the country. Stealey Jenkins Ashley reports “no news is good news” and that she enjoyed seeing so many classmates at Reunion.

Ingrid Cronin Packard and Marion O’Grady spent a wonderful October Columbus Day weekend in Vermont with Cathy Maloney Claflin and her husband, Tim, at their beautiful and historic home. They had perfect weather and lots of fun exploring the iconic landscapes, farmers’ markets and picking out pumpkins. They also enjoyed lunch and a visit to the Simon Pearce glass-blowing factory in nearby New Hampshire and relaxed with some well-earned down time and Cathy’s delicious dinners!

5 Joyce Gorman ’70, recipient of the Professional Excellence Alumna Award, with her family

1970

Meg Corroon Sheridan is still living in NYC and is retired from being a professional fundraiser for nonprofits. Her eldest son was married last year, so she is no longer the only female in the family. She stays in touch with Heather Hirson Long and her cousin, Frannie Kelly Burns.

4 Lisa Gowdey Pritchard has had a very hard year. She lost her husband in April; and then her sister, Lonnie, for whom she was the primary caregiver, died of lung cancer in July. But the prior year was a great year! Lisa was elected County Commissioner for Montgomery County, Tennessee, and her city of Clarksville was named by Money Magazine as the #1 city in the nation to live in. Lisa has a three-year old granddaughter Novah and hopes to see everyone at the 50th Reunion in the fall! 5 Priscilla Campo Press continues commuting into the City from Oyster Bay each day and is enjoying her 4 grandchildren and their families who live in NYC. She joined Joyce Gorman and Joyce’s family at Reunion in September, when Joyce was honored with the Professional Excellence Alumna Award. They had an absolutely amazing day being back at the School, connecting with alumnae from the class ahead of them who were celebrating their 50th reunion as well as the other honorees. They also had an opportunity to visit with Nora Finnegan Dolce, who attended the Mass in the chapel that day. They are planning to return next fall for their 50th reunion as well and hope to see everyone there!

Joyce is thrilled at the selection of Meg Frazier as the new Head of School. Her family knows Meg well from her time at Georgetown Prep in Bethesda, Maryland, where she was the Academic Dean when her son Pete was a boarding student and she was on the Board of Trustees. Meg was beloved by Prep students, faculty, parents, and Board members, and she is so happy that Sacred Heart discovered her and was able to lure her to be Pam Hayes’ successor. It will take a very special person to fill Pam’s shoes and continue her legacy, and she can’t think of anyone more perfect! Susie Baker Bell is still mourning the sudden death of her beloved husband, Jamie, five years ago. She is still living primarily in Philadelphia but spends the spring and summer months in Prout’s Neck, Maine. Barbara Moran is spending the winter on the coast of California in Santa Cruz. No more snow and ice for her!

1973

Congratulations to Susan Mara McDonnell and husband, John, on the recent engagement of their daughter, Mary McDonnell ’09.

Kathy Williams Dunn, Martia Patrick Gordon ’72, Missy Mackenzie Cumings, Caroline Riley and Debbie Busby Kunces, enjoyed a fabulous weekend in Arlington, VT, this past July at the gorgeous home of Emmy McBee Dailey ’74. The weather was spectacular as they went blueberry picking at a beautiful local farm and also enjoyed the scenery of Norm Rockwell’s original barn and summer house on the river. 6 Debbie

Busby Kunces, Missy Mackenzie Cumings, Caroline Riley, Martia Patrick Gordon ’72, Kathy

Williams Dunn and Susan Mara McDonnell ended the year with a holiday dinner at Rafele’s Restaurant in Rye. Rosemary Custer Glazier had a great time attending Reunion in the fall. She said it was extra special to see Marion O’Grady

receive the Outstanding Alumna Award. The Class of 1973 extends their deepest sympathy to Elena Delgado and her two children on the recent passing of her beloved husband and their father this past November 2019.

1974

Dr. Joanna Groden received the Alumna STEAM Award at Reunion. She is an internationally recognized human geneticist and Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

1975

Mary Barbero Jordan reported that she had lunch with Dude (Mary Anne Leverty Heine) after not seeing each other in years! She is still in touch with Melinda Keller Hammer on a regular basis, so the “gruesome threesome” are still in touch! She just happily celebrated her 23rd anniversary with her husband, Michael Jordan (the original). Their 22-year-old daughter, Liv, just started a new job working in with CASES, an innovative public safety center in Harlem. Her most recent CD of original music (Madalyn & Nicole) was released in 2014 and is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and CDbaby.com. She is teaching communication and meditation courses at Iona College and works full time as Gallery Director for the Br. Kenneth Chapman Gallery at Iona. Joy Pine-Thomas completed her Ph.D. in 2017 in applied management & decision sciences. She is currently working as an instructional design specialist with the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. She is also a consultant/ professional development trainer.

Joan O’Grady-Barada is still working hard as a school nurse/ administrator at a 6–12th grade school. Joan’s husband, Drew, and their four children are all doing well. No one is married yet, but they are happy and healthy, and she feels truly blessed to have each of them. Her sister Ann O’Grady ’73 passed away in 2017 from Multifocal System Atrophy, a very rapid advancing form of Parkinson’s. She left behind her two children, Clare and Joshua, who between them have five children under the age of six. Joan has been enjoying becoming their pseudograndparent/grand auntie who loves showering them with all things she knows Ann would have if she were still here. Joan’s mother also passed away in 2016 at the ripe old age of 99 (4 months shy of 100)! Brenda Stevens Ross is doing well. 2020 is a big year for her and her husband, Michael, as they will celebrate the high school graduation of their daughter, Rozzi, in June. They are starting to move through what it will be like to be empty nesters. Career wise, she continues to enjoy her work advocating for music therapy. It is a powerful tool that remains sorely underutilized. The good news is that it continues to grow, and she gets to be a part of this. She has also been doing some consulting work in support of diversity, equity and inclusion. They continue to love life in the Boston area (Wayland and Falmouth) and all that New England has to offer, although she would move back to New York in a heartbeat as it will always be home for her.

Meg O’Toole Grupo left Condé Nast after 20+ years in human resources and development and is now very happy in her “best role yet” as a grandmother to Henry Collins Gruppo born 1/19/19. She loves all her boys to death! She still pals around with Mike and Priscilla. Meg and Jim live in Fairfield, as do several other class members. Felicia Value is living in the small, beautiful town of La Conner, in the NW corner of shared that she is looking forward to the 45th Reunion this fall. Mary Lou and her husband sold their house in Short Hills, and they have been retired in Rumson, where they first started out! Their oldest three of five are married and they have four grandchildren! Mary Lou recently joined the Sacred Heart Alumnae Board. Josie Kaufmann is living in Eastham, MA with her husband, Dennis. She and Dennis were married in 2017 and have a black lab rescue named Sox — yes, after the Red Sox – but the white paws initiated the name. 18th grandniece, Amelia, arrived Dec. 11th — and on Christmas she learned that the 19th will arrive in June 2020! She is still working and playing golf and enjoying it all! She feels blessed with her family and friends and finding a great guy at this time of her life.

Their youngest, Katie, just got engaged over Christmas, and Colleen was married to Mathew this past summer, and they now reside in NC. Another grandchild arrived, their son Patrick and his wife had their first. 8 Priscilla Jennings Pultz and her husband, Neil, downsized to Clinton after being empty nesters in Madison for a while.

time in the medical education field doing recruiting, alumni relations and social media. Liz Waldrup is buying for a department store based in Reading, PA, and splitting her time between PA and her apartment in Westchester.

Debbie Morelli Wygal is keeping busy raising a teenage daughter, writing a blog and working on books that she is self-publishing.

Lisa Burke Fallon received the Outstanding Alumna Award at Reunion in recognition of all that she has done to give back to the Sacred Heart Greenwich community.

Welcome, CLASS OF 2020!

Every year, the Greenwich-Maplehurst Alumnae Association welcomes graduating senior class into its association during an induction ceremony where they receive International Passports. One step closer to life beyond King Street, these passports grant the seniors official access to the wider Sacred Heart alumnae community around the world. The passport can serve as a means of introduction and even a source of help in the 44 countries where the Society of the Sacred Heart presently serves.

This year, the Alumnae Association has the pleasure of welcoming the 82 members of the Class of 2020. Several members of the class are also daughters of Sacred Heart alumnae, including Zoe Kassapidis, daughter of Elizabeth Tahmincioglu Kassapidis ’81, P’19, ’20; Katie Keller, daughter of Pamela Kettles Keller ’88, P’20; Avery McCloskey, daughter of Susie Callagy McCloskey ’84, P’14, ’20; Erin O’Connor, daughter of Kathleen Plunkett O’Connor’89, P’20, ’21, ’22; Elizabeth Trimble, daughter of Maggie Heffernan Trimble ’83, P’11, ’20; and Isabella Quinson, daughter of Yvette Gonzalez Quinson, Carrollton ’88, P’20. The Class of 2020 has proven time and again — during a senior spring unlike anything they could have imagined — that graduates of Sacred Heart have the strength, faith and determination to persevere.

19 Molly Boscarino returned to Lourdes in July with Adelaide Shafer Barrett as part of the Ampleforth Pilgrimage. They joined Margaret Shafer ’01 and a group of Pilgrims from Sacred Heart Greenwich made up of students, faculty and alums. It was 30 years ago, as juniors at Sacred Heart, that they made their first pilgrimage with Colleen Mara McLane and Heather Flanagan Brennan. It was as powerful as it had been the first time and the excitement, spiritual growth and social experiences with the Brits rivaled those back in the day.
