Prayers for the repose of the soul of Joanne Droppers

With deep sadness I ask the prayers of St. Stephen’s for the repose of the soul of Joanne Droppers, who died this afternoon at the Masconomet Healthcare Center in Topsfield, MA

 

 Her son, Seton, writes:

My mother, Joanne Droppers died peacefully this afternoon a little after 2:00 PM EDT. My sister Ann was with her when she died. We will share more details in the next day or two.

Joanne was a faithful member of St. Stephen’s, a vestry member and a dear friend to many before moving to Lynn, MA in 2013.

We will remember Joanne locally at a Requiem Mass for the repose of her soul on Wednesday, May 30 at 6:00 p.m.

Please also keep her children and their family in your prayers.

 Deliver your servant, Joanne, O Sovereign Lord Christ, from all evil, and set her free from every bond; that she may rest with all your saints in the eternal habitations; where with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

May her soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
