The Dominican Sisters of Sparkill give thanks to God for the life of our Associate Annette Quante who entered eternal life on April 25, 2014.
Annette was an Associate of the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill from 2001-2014. Annette was a graduate of St. Mark’s High School and St. Mary’s School of Nursing. She received her nursing credentials after being widowed in mid-life. Annette used her nursing background to contribute to the life and mission of the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill. She visited various nursing homes and assisted living sites to assess the quality of care offered and made recommendations for use by the Sisters when that care was needed. Her dedication to compassionate care with her patients was obvious to everyone who encountered her. She had a holistic approach to nursing, so she was known to pray with a patient as well as dress a wound. Annette Quante’s full obituary may be found here.
