Mary Natalie Leftwich passed away peacefully on April 26, 2024. We offer the 11:00am Mass on Sunday, May 19 for her. Mary devoted her entire life to educating children, having taught Kindergarten and 1st grade for most of her career. She impacted the lives of hundreds of children in the over 45 years she taught. She retired in 2012 from St. Ann’s Academy where she had worked most of her career.
