| We are saddened to hear of the passing of Mary Jane Smith, founder of the Unity House of Troy and a founding member of ACL.
The Albany Times Union has a wonderful article about the impact she made to help those most in need. http://ow.ly/nxJ33089AZx Her tenacity and dedication is best described in a quote from current Mayor of Troy and former executive director of the Troy Rehabilitation and Improvement Program, Patrick Madden: “When she saw something that wasn’t right, she set out to change it. Dogged determination was a strong point in her character. A good woman, a great life. Her impact was incalculable” In her memory donations may be made to the Deuteronomy Fund at Unity House at 2431 6th Ave, Troy, NY 12180. A celebration Mass of her life will be at 1 p.m. Monday at the St. Joseph Provincial House in Latham. The mass will be followed by a reception. |
