In Memoriam

"For those who have been faithful, O Lord, life is not ended, but merely changed...."

We mourn the passing of those with whom we shared so many memories. Please report the death of any Alumna through our contact page, providing us with information from a published source, when possible.

As a memorial for an SJC Alumna, you may wish to purchase a memorial brick on campus through our Leave a Footprint Program or make a contribution to our Bicentennial Women Learner's Fund. You may also wish to submit a prayer request to the Seton Shrine.

Following are the names of our recently deceased. Please click View Obituary
