RIP Christine Fogarty O’Rourke – Bishop Kearney
I saw the news that a teacher from Bishop Kearney High School died. I didn’t recognize the name, but then I saw her picture and her red hair.
We knew her by her maiden name, Mrs. Fogarty. She was strong, fierce, beautiful and amazing.
She taught Social Studies, but we didn’t have her. She had morning duty on the first floor and she go to know everyone hanging out in her hallway for a little too long. She would yell your name down the hallway to say good morning and tell you to get to class.
RIP Christine Fogarty O’Rourke.
Life was not always easy for her, but she always prayed and knew that God was hearing her. One day, Ms. Fogarty and had a very deep conversation about faith with me – nothing was sugar-coated.
Info about her wake and funeral:
A beautiful life, that came to an end; she died, as she lived, everyone’s friend. In our hearts, a memory will always be kept, of one we loved and will never forget.
Hugs,
marlene
