A great teacher and a wonderful friend . If only I had learned of your whereabouts a bit sooner. Until we meet again Ms. Glynn – Rest in peace 🕯️
With love from Justin
Mary was a big part of my life growing up. She worked at Roncalli with my mother Edna (Harris). Although Mary was my sister’s God mother, she treated all my sisters and I the same . She never missed a birthday or Christmas. She was so good to us . She frequently visited the house & always provided words of wisdom and guidance. Her Catholic faith was strong and she was always active in her parish. She will be missed by many former students, colleagues, friends, and family members.
To all the Glynn family
So sad to of the passing of Miss Glynn
She was my grade 5 teacher at roncalli many years ago
She was quite the inspirational and jovial person who was well respected and loved by her students
Rest in Peace

Miss Glynn. You were one of the toughest teachers I’ve ever had. As high as my marks were you still pushed me. I used to get so mad. For that I have to say a warm heartfelt thank you. I didn’t know it back then but I now know what you were doing. You taught me that no matter how good we are there’s always room for improvement. A big life lesson you taught me.
You will be missed. You were tough and my favourite teacher. God rest your soul. Amen 🙏 😔🌹
Francis ,Theresa and family .
Sorry to hear of your sisters passing condolences to all .

Miss Glynn was my favorite teacher at Roncalli, she was always there to help you and give you praise when needed and deserved. I remember she would always raise her finger but then give a little smirk to keep us in line. Deepest sympathy to the family.
