Mrs. Mary Kay Mannelli (formerly Mrs. Menke)
It is with profound sadness that we honor the memory of Mary Kay Mannelli, a beloved social science faculty member who passed away suddenly on July 25, 2025. In her 31 years at Mother McAuley, she touched many lives and inspired generations of students with her sarcastic sense of humor, warmth, and quick smile. We mourn her loss as we begin the 2025 - 2026 school year, and hold her memory close. Mary Kay is the mother of alumna Georgia Menke ‘17.
