Ireland. She began her education at St. Vincent Ferrer Grade School and

and from 1951 to 1954 at Mary Immaculate School in Ossining. She returned
to Dominican Academy in 1983, this time as bookkeeper and treasurer. She

to Mohun in December.

Hank Cluess of West Hempstead, Long Island, her sister Anne Horan also
of Long Island, and a niece and two nephews.
