Angela Irvine Memorial Service Livestream, June 26

A memorial celebration of the life of Angela Irvine, former Senior School English teacher, will be held on Saturday, June 26. Tune into the event livestream starting at 11 a.m. EST.

Irvine, who passed away February 8, 2021, at the age of 81, was the mother of the late Laura O'Connell '81 and John Rumble, and the grandmother of Caitlin O'Connell '12. She was known for her quick Southern wit, love of language and literature, and deep care for the many students and colleagues who sought her guidance and support. Among her SSA faculty colleagues, she was a beloved friend with a fierce loyalty to all things Shady Side.
