Rest in Peace: Annella Dosdal

Long-time parishioner and friend of Our Lady of Lourdes, Annella Dosdal passed away last week in California after contracting pneumonia. Annella and her late husband Tom were parishioners of Lourdes for years and generous supporters of the parish and its mission.  Fr. Griffith said, “Annella will be missed deeply. She was a Christian of joy, hospitality and faith. She loved Lourdes and our community. A Memorial Mass for Annella will be celebrated in the coming months.  2020 has been a challenging year in so many ways, including the loss of parishioners who were integral to our parish life. It is remarkable how many characteristics these parishioners shared including faith, generosity of spirit and love for Lourdes: Doc Joe Wethington, Bill Lawson, Tom Johnson, Tim Neeb, Barbara Bye, Jerry Fleischaker and now Annella Dosdal. My hope is that while we miss all of them deeply, they will be interceding for our community of faith at Lourdes. Rest in peace - your good deeds go with you.”
