Lt. Angela P. Mason ‘40 Added to Women’s Military Memorial

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

This information came into the SJC Office from Marie Slyker Schmidt ‘40. Thanks Marie!

What a great idea. I am so pleased.  News is hard to come by from 90 year olds. Would you like to know that I have listed Lt. Angela P. Mason, Class of 1940, on the Women’s Military Memorial in Washington, DC.  A request went out for names of women who have served, and I remembered Angela.  I am proud to have done that. Her brother who lives nearby gave me her ‘numbers’ and the Alumnae Office sent me her death date.  She was my roommate in Seton Hall for two years. She was a Dietitian and served in France. She attended my wedding in Detroit in 1941, and visited me at my home in New Jersey before we moved to California in 1951. She also visited our California home with her brother in 1967.

Col. Mary Jo Rice-Mahoney ‘68

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

After graduating from St. Joseph’s College in 1968, Mary Jo Rice-Mahoney served 30 years in the Army Nurse Corps, retiring with the rank of colonel. She is also retired from the New Jersey Veterans Administration healthcare system. During her service in Vietnam, she and several other nurse classmates were assigned to the same hospital. That made for quite a reunion!
