Sr. Joan Smith

Rest in peace dear Sister Joan. I was in Cross and Passion Kilcullen in the 1970's. God Bless you.

I have just heard the sad news of Sr Joan’s death. With very fond memories of Joan’s years with the pastoral care team at Tallaght University Hospital. May she rest in peace. With deepest sympathy to all.

Have lovely memories of St Joan being so fair as a teacher. She certainly went on to have an amazing life after Kilcullen, such an interesting person. She will be sadly missed by all her close friends and family.
I was leaving very 1977

Warmest sympathies to Sr Joan’s family and all the CPC community. Just having heard about the wonderful life of Sr Joan, it is most inspiring.
Sr Joan taught me Maths and managed to make Maths so much more simple and straightforward, that I ended up loving the subject. For that I am grateful.
She also had a lovely attitude and way of teaching.
May she rest in peace.

Sincere sympathies to the Smith and Martin families on the sad passing of Sr. Joan.
May she rest in peace.

A wonderful wife, taken too soon. RIP.

Sr. Joan seemed like a wave of modernity when she became Headmistress after Sr. Cecilia Mary, in CPC, the late 70s.
She was very calm & kind to me personally and she gave us, the young women under her charge, a sense that we could become whatever we wanted to be. She also modelled some very inclusionary practices, though we were too young to see it at the time, but in hindsight, I recognise some compassionate choices that she made that were transformative in the lives of young women & their families.
She did not appear to fuss over details and navigated the school through fairly momentous changes: the phasing out of boarders & the introduction of boys, both of which must have been a huge challenge.
We, in Kilcullen are grateful for her service to our community.
My sincere sypathy to her family & sisters of the Cross & Passion, may she rest in peace.

Heart felt condolences to Sr.Joans family and the Cross and Passion community. I have fond memories of Sr.Joan as principle in Kilcullen in the 90s. My siblings and i are so grateful for our time in CPC. May you Rest in Eternal Peace.
