Veneta Lorraine
Ann supervised my training as a spiritual director and subsequently became my mentor, spiritual director for 17 years, and dear friend. She had a generosity of heart that shared all she had; her talents, her wisdom, her gentleness, her laughter and her love with everyone she knew. For all the love she gave to me and for all the ways she shaped my ministry, taught me and imparted her great wisdom, i am forever grateful. I sorely miss her presence but know she continues to love is waiting to greet me again.

When Patricia Ann, so tastefully dressed and more beautiful in her person, walked into a room, people noticed. And when you spoke to her she was totally engaged with you. Gifted with keen intuition, she could feel even the subtle dynamics in a group. She breathed in and out the Spirit of the Holy One and did so naturally and with such good humor! How we will miss her.

I knew Ann At Our Lady of Peace Retreat House in Narragansett, RI about 20 years ago. She ran a summer internship in the Directed Retreat. It was an excellent program, and Ann was a fine teacher and supervisor. She will be missed in the field of Spiritual Direction.
