Family members and friends joined with Twin Tiers residents to remember the life of Sister Mary Anne Brawley.

Sister Mary Anne died on June 6. She was 81. A funeral Mass was celebrated June 10 at St. Thomas Aquinas Church on Binghamton's West Side.

Students and faculty members of Seton Catholic Central High School watched in silence on Seminary Avenue in the morning as the funeral procession passed on its way to the church.

Sister Mary Anne was interviewed on WNBF Radio's Binghamton Now program on July 3, 2012, a few days before she moved to Buffalo for her next assignment. During the conversation, she reflected on her life and how she worked to serve people during her time as an educator and at Lourdes Hospital.
