Mrs Morley was a favorite teacher. Can’t say I was a good home ec student but she taught more about life and values. She was kind, gentle yet strong and faithful. Prayers for your sense of grief and loss. I live in DC so when I visit the National Basilica, I will remember Mary Agnes, who no doubt, is enjoying seeing God facet of ace! Blessings.

Sincere sympathy to Mary and Larry. Mary Agnes was so special. I knew her all my life. I loved seeing her at church. She was active in the Quilters group, and made many delicious Angel Food cakes for reunions and bazaars. I had her for a teacher in my Home Ec class at St. Mary’s High School. May she Rest in Peace.
My sympathy on the loss of your dear Mother. I knew Mary Agnes when I was a senior in high school at Bishop Carroll. She provided transportation to and from school for my sister and I. We lived close to the route she took from east to west Wichita. I remember her kindness, and particularly her patience. We weren’t always ready to leave for school when she pulled up in the driveway! You will no doubt miss her very much. Prayers & peace. Sr. Patty Owens ASC
