Pashby
(1932 - 2022)
Sister Agnes Pashby went peacefully home to her good God on 29 September 2022, at age 90. During her 72 years as a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, she taught at schools in Worcester, East Boston, Dorchester, and Shrewsbury. In 1986, Sister Agnes was appointed Assistant Treasurer for the Ipswich Province. In her life, she was known for her hallmark modest generosity.

In celebration of All Souls Day on Wednesday, November 2, and throughout the month of November, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur will continue the tradition of prayerful remembrance of the life and repose of all souls.
