The Lasting Influence of Marie Hay
|
On April 6, alumnae and friends celebrated the life and times of Marie Hay.
 "Mrs. Hay was one of a kind and Branksome was extremely lucky to have her. She was a unique character, an amazing spirit, a phenomenal teacher, and a loyal friend! The world was a better place with Mrs. Hay in it! She touched so many lives...she certainly touched mine.
I miss you Mrs. Hay!"
