Grace Harmon RN served as director of nursing at Aquinata Hall in the 1970s. A few years ago her daughter Anne donated a dwarf Magnolia tree in her memory. The tree is planted at Aquinata Hall, near the first floor Community Room.
On Thursday, October 24, we gathered to honor Grace and express our gratitude for her loving service to our Sisters, and we installed a memorial plaque near the tree.
Thank you, Grace and Anne.
Grace’s “Rx” of healing, compassion, love and kindness continues to guide the ministry of care at Sisters at Aquinata Hall and Marywood.
